More than worth the wait.
Four years since their second album ‘
Static' - which followed a fairly banging self-titled debut back in 2011 - and
Cults have finally returned. It's an effort that’s more than worth the wait, and sees them push themselves to new, bigger levels, something that can be heard throughout ‘
Offering'.
Symbolising their growth from young adults who were thrust into the limelight, to, in a way, veterans; the synths are more darling, the beats more pulsating and the vocals as soothing. They've managed to evolve from the innocent sound of ‘Cults' to introduce a welcome urgency.
There are new layers to get lost in, bringing to life a world that Cults have managed to forge from their retro sounds: from the eighties vibe of ‘
Right Words' all the way through to the crescendo-building finale that is ‘
Gilded Lily'.
