Song of the Day (1.20.11)

Cults - "Go Outside"

Cults are on many lists ending 2010 as one of the bands to watch in 2011/2012. Like many other bands that have broken onto the scene in the last few years (The Hundred in the Hands, The XX, Sleigh Bells, Matt & Kim, etc), they are a boy/girl tandem. Attempting to discover much about this band is fucking difficult. They play very few shows and only have three 'officially' released tracks.

Despite such a small amount of available material, I found their Go Outside 7" two-track single as catchy as any other single/EP released in 2010. The B-Side, "Most Wanted" is a track that reminds me a lot of the vintage feel of The Everly Brothers' "Cathy's Clown." If you like "Go Outside," definitely visit their official site and listen to "Most Wanted."

Cults' site lists their debut album as a December 2012 release. I'd like to think they can get it out quicker than that, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
