Cults drop new single “Hung the Moon”
NYC duo Cults, have dropped new single, “Hung the Moon,” off their new album To the Ghosts, available July 26th via Imperial. “It has a Twin Peaks, roadhouse vibe,” notes member Brian Oblivion. “It’s a sweet nursery rhyme set to an ominous tone. It goes back to the concept of growing up. Life doesn’t stop when you check all of the boxes; it gets crazier. There’s always possibility, adversity, and fun up ahead.” Cults will be spending the remainder of 2024 on the road. They’ll kick off their own U.S. headline tour in August, play Lollapalooza on August 4th, support Vampire Weekend on their extensive fall run and finally play a string of UK and EU headline dates in November.
Cults are equally comfortable collaborating with The Weeknd, rap titan J. Cole on his 6x-platinum smash “She Knows,” and maverick indie director Jim Jarmusch. Earlier this week their remix of Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight” dropped much to the delight of fans everywhere, and they are also comfortable crafting their own brand of catchy tunes. Cults commented on social media saying they were “honored to have been given the opportunity to remix legend Taylor Swift’s song.”
To the Ghosts began during the pandemic when the band starting writing music on weekdays from 10am-5pm, with no deadlines or distractions. The album was written and recorded in Brian’s apartment, and then brought to Los Angeles for further collaboration with longtime producer Shane Stoneback. To the Ghosts was co-produced by Cults & Shane Stoneback, mixed by John Congleton, and mastered by Heba Kadry NYC.
