For those of you (mainly bloggers and writers) who’ve had this album for the last few weeks you’ll know just how good this is. For those of you who haven’t then you’re about to be bedazzled.
It’s been over a year since Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin sauntered onto the scene as Cults with their hot-damn-how-good-is-this-sugary-sweet-dream-pop three-song Bandcamp posting. Nobody knew anything about them, they didn’t post their songs to blogs or sites and just uploaded them to their Bandcamp page, but within a week they were blowing up from here to the indie blogs in Timbuktu.
Between then and now they’ve released 7″ singles on Forest Family Records, they’ve toured the U.S and Europe, they’ve released other singles on Record Store Day, they’ve posted remixes, videos, b-sides, collaborations with family members, and everything else you can think of in between. Oh, they even signed a major fucking record deal with Columbia/Sony, but now we have the entire album to make our ears salivate and our mouth blister. It’s been delayed for a little but finally comes out next week and thanks to NPR the entire jovial thing is streaming below.
Album of the year contender? Damn right.
