In addition to the album announcement for their new album, they’ve shared the haunting single “Trials”, along with a mesmerizing video directed by Jeff Striker. Cults on “Trials”: “Trials” focuses on the power that addictions and harmful ideologies have to transform. The chorus walks a tightrope between a metaphor for gaslighting and a despairing worry about the person you still hold out hope for.
Host is a radical reimagining of both the band’s sound and its dynamic. Written more collaboratively than ever before and recorded primarily with live instruments for the first time, the album explores the sinister dynamics at play in a parasitic relationship. Rather than dwelling in the discomfort, it charts a cathartic journey towards freedom and self-reliance, revelling in the power that comes from standing your ground and declaring independence in the face of exploitation and manipulation.
Cults have returned with the announcement of their fourth studio album “Host”, out September 18th via Sinderlyn ‼️
