Cults
Host
(Sinderlyn)

★★★★

New York’s Cults are back with their fourth album and a newish direction, albeit still beholden to the otherworldly dream pop that is their musical shtick.

While much is the same as before, Trials has singer Madeline Follin’s child-like vocals front and centre, the 1960s-like sound has expanded.
