Before reaching Europe, the band will be playing a stretch of high-profile shows in the U.S. including a headline summer tour kicking off on 1st August, a stop at Chicago’s Perry Farrell-founded Lollapalooza Festival on 4th August, and a coveted opening slot supporting Vampire Weekend.

The duo, comprised of Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion are also treating fans to a unique vinyl package of To the Ghosts, available for pre-order today. Pressed on 180-Gram Black Vinyl, the offering will be available in various colours including “Crystal Blue Vinyl”, “Pinkurple Vinyl” and “Green Onion Vinyl”. The package includes a gatefold jacket, printed inner sleeve, and a limited-edition autographed Zoetrope turntable slipmat. Fans can preorder the vinyl here now.

The duo, comprised of Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion, have released two new tracks from the forthcoming record so far: Left My Keys and Crybaby. Akin to light piercing a dark corner, Cults’ temper shadowy cinematic soundscapes with flickering melodic singalongs. To The Ghosts crystalizes this sonic texture and displays their uncanny ability to balance alternative sonic architecture with unassuming pop songcraft.

To The Ghosts was meticulously crafted; the earliest ideas dated back to the pandemic when they wrote music on weekdays from 10am-5pm with no deadlines or distractions. The album was written and recorded in Brian’s apartment; in 2022 they traveled to Los Angeles to collaborate with longtime producer and trusted creative confidant Shane Stoneback, because “nobody can read our minds like he can,” jests Madeline. To The Ghosts was co-produced by Cults & Shane Stoneback, mixed by John Congleton, and mastered by Heba Kadry NYC.
