Cults, the indie pop outfit hailing from New York City, first captured the hearts of the indie music scene in the early 2010s with their infectious blend of vintage pop aesthetics and modern lo-fi production. Formed by Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion while they were students in New York, the duo quickly rose to prominence with their ear-catching blend of sugary melodies and nostalgic, yet fresh soundscapes. Their breakthrough hit, "Go Outside," became an anthem of sorts for the indie community, encapsulating a yearning for simplicity and connection amidst the digital age's disarray.

Over the years, Cults have carved out a distinct niche for themselves, backed by releases that showcase their evolution in sound while retaining the core elements that first drew listeners in. Albums like "Offering" and the 10th Anniversary Edition of "Static" highlight their ability to merge moody, atmospheric elements with catchy pop sensibilities. Tracks such as "Crybaby," "Gilded Lily," and remixes like "Trials (Johnny Jewel Remix)" exemplify their knack for reinvention and collaboration, keeping their music relevant and engaging. Despite lineup changes and the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry, Cults have maintained their status as indie pop stalwarts, continuing to enchant audiences with their dreamy, introspective tunes and explorative sound.
