Here the terms governing their music - dream pop, electro pop - are so well descriptive of what is happening in the album and Cults are about to become one of the leading names when it is mentioning style dream pop. Of course, if they continue to make good music.
So beautiful and charming music made by two young Brian Oblivion (guitar, vocals) and Madeline Follin (vocals) does not go often. And their music is similar to the classics of the genre Cocteau Twins, but with more commercial pop and urban magnetic flowing puncture. The album is fresh and magnetic in which you have field yet to discover more good qualities, it has. Pop, electro magnetics as the opening "Abducted", "You Know What I Mean", "Walk At Night", "Never Saw The Point" and "Bad Things" can not leave you spirituality dig. I was touched by charge of the hits.
To top off the good news for them is signing with major label Columbia / Sony Records. Fields of expression they have, it remain their talent to make great minimalistic pop tunes, to show more.
I do not know whether it is appropriate to say that Cults do independent pop, electro rock, as they are now in the ranks of major label, i.e Sony, but if they are the new face of pop rock, electro music, so, that face looks good and fresh at least, and I vote with both hands for them. And their music has the potential to grab the listener from the first listen, and be familiar with such catchy electro piece, that constantly wants more. And the material from their new album "Cults" are emerging about 5 completed hits of 11 compositions inside, several have interesting videos.
In "Walk At Night" I will say that there is a "weapon" of mass emotional strike and to attempts brain, and this is the voice of Madeline Follin. Yes, right in this song. Hear it and you will be blew away. So I think that exactly it should sound a exciting indie rock, electro (maybe electro clash, in this case is appropriate) female vocals. Dense and contagious, like tight dress on a female body, "catching" it from scratch and leading it through the whole composition. Her voice sometimes sounds like early Vanessa Paradis in "You Know What I Mean" and "Bumper", and sometimes like a gentle geisha in "Go Outside" and "Most Wanted".
"Rave On" respectively, and the album ends with the sounds of moving away steps. I hope these steps lead to a subsequent, more powerful album, full of melody that came soon and let me blew away uninitiated, so their future is bright. Will look forward to the continuation of "Cults", or it may be something completely different direction. So let the time show.
