Ibeyi - Offering - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

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. Album Tracks 1. Offering 2. I Took Your Picture 3. With My Eyes Closed 4. Recovery 5. Right Words 6. Good Religion 7. Natural State 8. Nothing Is Written 9. Talk in Circles 10. Clear from Far Away 11. Gilded Lily

Recorded in a little bedroom studio out in Durham, North Carolina, Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn's debut LP as Sylvan Esso arrived in 2014 at the juncture of pop and experimental. Even now, years later, the LP remains an urgent and fitting introduction to a push-and-pull that would go on to inform the duo's sound - a thoughtful headiness that also wants you to get out on the dance floor. A blend of analog and digital, Meath and Sanborn were two unexpected puzzle pieces fitting together with singular ease, producing a ten-track LP that was both minimalist and shimmering, with dark undulations rippling beneath the synthy-surface and crystalline quality of Meath's voice. Before all of the international touring and festival headlining and critical acclaim, Sylvan Esso was just a shot-in-the dark of musical chemistry gone right. The original album bio for the self-titled presciently sets the stage for the thesis that has gone on to guide Meath and Sanborn's writing since then Incha collection of vivid addictions concerning suffering and love, darkness and deliveranceInch arriving as Incha necessary pop balm, an album stuffed with songs that don't suffer the longstanding complications of that term.Inch And so, even as the band continues to evolve and becomes amorphous, there's still that argument about what pop can be at it's core. This is just the beginning of that conversation captured on tape. Album Tracks 1. Hey Mami 2. Dreamy Bruises 3. Could I Be 4. Wolf 5. Dress 6. H.S.K.T 7. Coffee 8. Uncatena 9. Play It Right 10. Come Down
