- Release Notes
- When Cults’ "Go Outside" first appeared on the web last year, it spread like
- wildfire. It was catchy and sweet, the kind of sing-along that felt like it was
- pulled from the air, with a sentiment perfect for anyone stuck in an office or
- addicted to the Internet. But how many communal sing-alongs can a band make
- before the approach goes stale? Cults have opted not to find out. "Go Outside"
- is on their debut album, and it still gives you your entire recommended daily
- allowance of vitamin D, but its dreamy drift is just one side of a band that
- proves it has the dexterity and songwriting chops to make a varied and
- memorable album.
- Much has been made about the speed with which Cults signed to Columbia, as if
- they’re the first group to release a debut album on a major. That kind of rapid
- ascent isn’t anything new, but the speculation that came with it– online
- chatter pronouncing them destined for the one-hit-wonder bin– now looks
- grossly off the mark. At the center of the band’s appeal is singer Madeline
- Follin’s youthful alto. She has a tone that creates the impression you’re
- listening to a precocious tween fronting a band well versed in Phil Spector’s
- Back to Mono and three decades of climactic indie pop. The 1960s girl-pop
- element of their sound is pretty evident on the surface– "You Know What I
- Mean" even borrows its verse melody from the Supremes’ "Where Did Our Love
- Go"– but what they’ve done with it is pure 21st century, cutting it with
- synths, guitars, and softly integrated samples.
- The samples, of cult leaders speaking to their followers, could have been a
- distraction had they chosen to make a big deal out of them, but they’re woven
- tightly into the album’s sonic fabric and processed to varying degrees of
- decipherability, which turns them into an effective textural element. Those
- voices bounce around in the intro to "Oh My God", originally released last year
- as part of Adult Swim’s singles program, but subtly remixed for the LP. The
- music hasn’t changed here but the beat is amped up, and the bass has been moved
- forward in the mix, giving the song a much more powerful groove to support its
- melody. And if Follin’s lyrics aren’t necessarily deep– "I can run away and
- leave you anytime Please don’t tell me you know the plans for my life"– she
- delivers them with relatable and affecting conviction.
- This taps into a vein of petulance that runs through the album. "I don’t need
- anyone else," from "Never Saw the Point", may read as a tossed-off line, but in
- a strangely positive way, it feels like the record’s main message. Even the
- eternally sunny "Go Outside" ends on the lyric, "I think I want to live my life
- and you’re just in my way." These are teenage sentiments, the kind of things
- you feel dumb for saying and thinking once you’ve navigated into your
- mid-twenties, but they’re also universal sentiments during that stage of life
- when you’re trying to figure out what kind of person you’re going to be. Cults’
- use of elements borrowed from traditionally teen music– girl groups, 50s
- prom-pop, bedroom indie pop– plays along with the lyrics to create a little
- world where one minute Follin is singing a frustrated "fuck you" "Never Heal
- Myself" and dreaming of escaping the next. Even the more formal pop
- explorations play to teen melodrama. The surging Spector pop of the record’s
- anthemic opener "Abducted" compares falling in love to being kidnapped, and
- gives the other Cult, Brian Oblivion, a brief lead vocal to play the abductor.
- At just over a half hour, Cults feels like the perfect length– just long
- enough for the bus ride to school or to work. But more importantly, it
- executes what it sets out to do masterfully while allowing the group room to
- grow and mature. They’ve also set themselves up to take their sound and subject
- matter in any number of possible directions in the future, and that’s a good
- position for a young band to find itself in. Cults built up a lot of goodwill
- last year on the strength of just three tracks; on their debut album, they’ve
- rewarded it.
