Cults - Offering B Sides And Remixes - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing includes . Cults made their name in black and white. A pair of film school dropouts who burst onto the New York scene with a perfect single and a darkly retro sound, the band's first two albums play like noirish documentaries on a lost girl group. Four years after Static, Cults returns with Offering, an exciting collection of songs bursting with heart, confidence, shimmering melody and buzzing life. The time off has given the band new energy and new ideas-Cults are working in Technicolor now. The core duo remains the same. Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion, both 28, still live in New York. They still finish each other's thoughts and still share a love of catchy music and black humor. But the pair have put some blood on the tracks since their breakout debut they've toured the world, built a devoted audience, survived a breakup, grown up in green rooms, parted ways with their old tag and made a home of their new one. Offering is the work of two artists who know what they want and how to make it happen.

Cults were deep into the process of recording their fourth full-length LP when singer Madeline Follin let a secret slip. At the time, it seemed inconsequential, just a passing comment amongst friends, but in the end, it would prove to be a monumental revelation, one that would change the acclaimed New York duo forever. InchIn the past, I'd never brought my own music to the table because I was just too shy,Inch says Follin, Inchbut at some point during the sessions, I mentioned that I'd been writing some songs on the side, and our producer, Shane Stoneback, asked me to share them.Inch InchWhen Shane and I heard what Madeline had written, we couldn't believe it,Inch says multi-instrumentalist/singer Brian Oblivion. InchThe music just floored us.Inch What followed was a radical reimagining, both of the band's sound and it's dynamic, and the result is Cults' utterly mesmerizing new album, 'Host.' Written more collaboratively than ever before and recorded primarily with live instruments for the first time, the collection marks the start of a bold new chapter for the band, one fueled by an ever-deepening trust and a boundless appetite for growth and experimentation. The songs here are deceptively charming, with rich, airy arrangements that belie their dark, weighty lyrics, and the production is rich and multifaceted to match, blending retro and futuristic palettes into a spellbinding swirl of high-def indie rock and lo-fi bedroom pop. As it's title suggests, 'Host' is an exploration of the sinister dynamics at play in a parasitic relationship, but rather than dwell in the discomfort, the record charts a cathartic journey towards freedom and self-reliance, reveling in the power that comes from standing your ground and declaring independence in the face of exploitation and manipulation. InchWriting these songs helped me learn to be okay with putting myself out there, with hav

Two LPs and four singles in, WEIRD OMEN still evade direct comparisons to... anyone. Descriptions abound InchPrimitive garage, a deluge of trash brass, reverb, and fuzzzzzInch, Incha crypto-hypnotic garage trance, blending '60s tones and psychedelic neo-garageInch, and InchFrance's strangest garage-psych-rock trio - comprised of guitar, sax, and drums. Lost somewhere betweenThe Cramps and The KinksInch. Balancing between a gloomy psychedelic atmosphere and fast-paced punk energy, Weird Omen manage to make some new with the old, imposing their own unique style. Refusing to succumb to one genre only, the band bravely blends garage, exotica, rockabilly, and psych. The lineup is straightforward, if unusual; a storming rhythm section comprised of drummer Remi Pablo and guitarist Sister Ray and what can only be described as a lead baritone saxophonist, Fred Rollercoaster. Weird Omen defies the current trends of garage; or more exactly, builds upon it's foundations to make something completely different out of it. 01 A Place I Want To Know 02 Wild Honey 03 Please Kill Me 04 Earworm 05 Surrealistic Feast 06 Collection Of Regrets 07 The Goat. 08 Trouble In My Head 09 Out Of My Brain 10 I Will Write You Poetry
