[anticipation] Cults//Cults

May has been a good month for new music.  We’ve already been treated to new releases from the likes of The Antlers, Architecture in Helsinki, Fleet Foxes, and Okkervil River.  Now right around the corner, we have the self-titled debut from Brooklyn duo Cults, which I’ve been eagerly anticipating since I first listened to the Go Outside 7″.

I’ve been listening to the new record quite often the last couple of weeks and I absolutely love it.  My favorite track is definitely the lead off, Abducted, but I also love Never Heal Myself, Most Wanted, Oh My God, and Never Saw the Point.

Cults will be released May 31st, but in the meantime, the good people at NPR Music have made the entire album available to stream here. You can also check out the video for my favorite track, Abducted, below and be sure to join Cults’ mailing list in exchange for a free download of Abducted.

Tristen Visits KCRW

Tune in today (5/19) at 11:15am for a live studio performance by Nashville newcomer (and one of personal favorites), Tristen, on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic!

Tristen has been on the rise for the last year or so and she’s showing no signs of slowing down.  She’ll be treating listeners to tracks from her debut, Charlatans At The Garden Gate, and much much more.  You definitely don’t want to miss this one!
