Cults Emerge from Hiatus with Ethereal New Single ‘Crybaby’

New York alt-pop duo Cults have officially made a comeback with their latest single, ‘Crybaby.’ This harmonic convergence is a pronounced leap from their past efforts and a testament to their evolving artistic narrative. The song, a smooth blend of airy vocals and whimsical electronic undertones, signals the start of a journey into previously uncharted musical territory for the band.
Produced by Cults alongside their steadfast companion in sound Shane Stoneback, ‘Crybaby’ stands as a shimmering beacon of indie pop excellence. It also serves as a bold statement from the band, who describe the track as ‘a fun song but also a call out to both sides of codependency’—all set against the backdrop of a lighter sound palette inspired by influential greats such as The Crystals, Joe Meek, and Kraftwerk.

Beginning on the first of August, fans can catch them live at various venues, with highlights including a headlining act, a pulsating presence at Lollapalooza, and budding dates where they will support indie rock juggernauts Vampire Weekend this autumn.
