Cults - Bad Things
Cults is an indie-pop band from Manhattan, New York. The band first drew to prominence when they posted a three song EP, Cults 7", on their Bandcamp page.
Cults began as a band in 2010 while Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin were students at New York University. They began making music in their spare time to share with their friends, including fellow band Bedhed.
The band rose to indie prominence during 2010 after releasing a three-song EP and the track "Go Outside" was named "Best New Music" by Pitchfork Media. In 2011, another track from their self-titled debut, Cults, was also named "Best New Music.".
Their self-titled debut album, Cults, was released on June 7, 2011 by Lily Allen's Columbia Records imprint In the Name Of. The album received generally positive reviews, including the aforementioned "Best New Music" tag from Pitchfork.
Also in 2011, they collaborated with the group Superhuman Happiness on a version of the track "Um Canto De Afoxé para o Bloco Do Ilê" for the Red Hot Organization's most recent charitable album "Red Hot+Rio 2." The album is a follow-up to the 1996 "Red Hot + Rio." Proceeds from the sales will be donated to raise awareness and money to fight AIDS/HIV and related health and social issues. The band have been chosen to perform at the ATP I'll Be Your Mirror festival curated by ATP & Portishead in September 2011 in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
