Cults Announce ‘To The Ghosts’—An Album Infused with Nostalgia and Liberation

The indie music realm is brimming with anticipation as Cults, the acclaimed New York alt-pop duo, unveils their fifth studio album, To The Ghosts. Crafted by the ingenious multi-instrumentalists Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion, this new musical offering is not just a collection of tracks but a narrative steeped in personal growth and cathartic release.
The conversational melodies and introspective lyrics are epitomized in their latest single, ‘Left My Keys‘. In Madeline’s words, it’s a song about “growing up and feeling like you’re being left behind.” The track taps into a poignant sense of nostalgia, while promising a sense of liberation that comes with age and acceptance.
Scheduled for release on 26th July via Imperial, the album is already generating buzz with its lead single. Describing the joy of creating ‘Left My Keys‘, Brian portrays the single as “a bright spot” dedicated to the memories of yesteryears, wrapped with an affectionate nod to the past.
Following their emotive single ‘Crybaby‘—their first release in two years—Cults have rejoined with their longstanding collaborator Shane Stoneback, fostering an atmosphere where organic soundscapes meet meticulous production. Their creative chemistry continues to electrify the alt-pop genre, promising a profound experience for listeners.
