Cults are back with a new single ten years after their breakthrough one Go Outside.
Spit You Out represents something of a landmark for the duo, the first to be entirely co-written, performed, sung and co-produced by multi-instrumentalist Madeline Follin. “In the past, I’d never brought my own music to the table because I was just too shy,” she says of this.
“On this single we tried on some of our more left field influences from the exotica sounds of Esquivel to Nine Inch Nails style heaviness,” they both continue. “It focuses on parasitic relationships and breaking away from toxic patterns of interaction. We never imagined it would relate to a worldwide pandemic.”
Follin formed Cults with Brian Oblivion whilst they were both students and not long after were among the ‘ones to watch’ picked about by Live4ever upon our first visit to the CMJ Music Marathon.
