The Cult - Dreamtime - VINYL LP

I imagine myself playing these songs in a small club that is slowly burning, says A. Savage of his second solo record, Several Songs about Fire. After more than a decade in New York, the co-frontman of Parquet Courts has left the city, marking his exit with a masterpiece of maturity and a worthy corollary to his first solo venture, 2017's Thawing Dawn. InchFire is something you have to escape from. This album is a burning building, and these songs are things I'd leave behind to save myself.Inch Produced by John Parish on a 1Inch 16-track in just ten days in Bristol and studded by the support of Cate Le Bon and Jack Cooper (Modern Nature, Ultimate Painting) as well as saxophonist Euan Hinshelwood (Cate Le Bon), drummer Dylan Hadley (Kamikaze Palm Tree, White Fence), and violinist Magdalena McLean (Caroline), Savage's outsize gifts as a lyricist and observer - a quality Parish calls Inchan emotional openness guarded by a laconic witInch - shine. Worrying questions of wealth and poverty, self and other, Savage displays the poet's gift of knowing when to narrate and when to vanish, leaving the listener to their own emotional privacy rather than instructing them how to feel. The end result is tantamount to psychic odyssey, with InchElvis in the ArmyInch placing us in a subterranean venue where the livid, ratifying cymbal raises the room's blood pressure and InchMountain TimeInch, evoking an austere waltz playing in a desolate house, returning those listening to life. Influenced by Sybille Baier and Townes Van Zandt, Savage joins a canon of songwriters constantly dilating aperture and perspective. In rendering the signage of laundromats and threats of debt collectors as glistering and totemic as the scope of mountains, rivers, seas, and skies, Savage finds hopes and curses in equal measure.A1.

THE CULT is fronted by Ian Astbury on vocals and Billy Duffy on guitar. Their music and albums at this point need no introduction as they have cemented themselves over the years since they began in 1983, as one of the greatest rock bands around. 1994 brought their seif-titled sixth album The Cult, sometimes also known as the InchBlack SheepInch album due to the cover image. Recorded with Bob Rock, It is a very personal album with a lot of the narrative subject matter referring to Astbury's younger years. Unlike their previous albums, this one revealed itself more slowly with each listen. This album is considered an overlooked and underrated gem and preceded their 1995 break-up. The band reformed in 1999 and continues to tour and albums, including their most recent, 2022's Under The Midnight Sun. A1. Gone A2. Coming Down (Drug Tongue) A3. Real Grrrl B1. Black Sun B2.

The Cult's third album Electric was released in 1987 and caused the band to explode to new levels of fame. It contains the massive hits InchLove Removal MachineInch, Wild FlowerInch and InchLil' DevilInch and was produced by Rick Rubin. Electric was a commercial and critical success, propelling The Cult to the forefront of the hard rock scene and cementing their status as one of the most influential bands of the era. The album remains a touchstone for hard rock and heavy metal fans, a classic work that captures the spirit of rebellion and the power of rock and roll.
