Yes Sirree , On October 15, Columbia Records will
release Static, the highly anticipated follow-up to Cults’
critically adorned 2010 self-titled, debut release.
Written and recorded over the course of 2012 in the
band’s home base of New York City, Static is produced
by Cults with support from Shane Stoneback (Sleigh
Bells, Vampire Weekend) and Ben Allen (Animal
Collective, Washed Out). Today the band shares a
self-directed album teaser which features tracks
“We’ve Got It” and “So Far” from Static:

Just who or what is the Cults? Cults’ is the genesis of
Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion, who mysteriously
appeared in the spring of 2010 with their viral single
“Go Outside.” Acclaimed for what the New York Times
describes as an “entrancing and intuitive strain of indie
rock indebted to clean-cut ‘50’s rock with flashes of
’60’s haze,” Cults were additionally praised by NPR,
Pitchfork, Los Angeles Times, and Spin for their
outstanding debut album that includes their other
notable tracks “Abducted,” “You Know What I Mean,”
and their Adult Swim single “Oh My God.”
Earlier this year Cults opened for Passion Pit on a
handful of east coast dates leading into their
performance at Bonnaroo. Previously the band joined
Foster The People for a massive 2011 North American
tour. In the beginning 2012 Cults played an extensive
headlining tour before they retreated to NYC to record
Static.
