New Cults: Abducted

MP3: Cults - Abducted

More new Cults material continues to come into light as we get closer to their eponymous debut, out June 7th on Columbia imprint In the Name Of.

They're still sounding wonderful, though I must say the remix on the b-side for this single by The 2 Bears is on the list of all time worst remixes. Like seriously, it's every example of why they don't ever work.

The 2 Bears are a fuck no, while Cults thankfully continue to be a fuck yeah.

New Cults: You Know What I Mean

New song from Cults' upcoming debut LP in May: Only listened once, but it sounded pretty righteous. Real breezy, like a nice spring afternoon or something. Check it out.

FUCK NO: Cults' Go Outside video

MP3: Cults - Go Outside

Cults have really got a lot of mileage out of a limited catalogue, with most of the focus being on their excellent "Go Outside" hit. Today, a video produced by anti-music video company MTV has premiered and man did everyone involved miss the point entirely.

Staring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco (a kid who is endlessly destined to always have it mentioned that he is the brother of James, mostly because he has no talent to help him stand on his own two feet), it takes a song of dark, evil, cheerful pop and glosses it to a 2-bit love story that no one could give a shit about. It is truly everything that is terrible about music videos and I'm hoping with one viewing of this schlock I can forget it's image anytime I listen to this song.

Shame on Patrick Hoelck, the director. Clearly, you are a hack. Let's please throw money at people WITH vision people!
