Cults

My latest "on repeat" artist is Cults, from San Diego. Cults is Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin, both 21 and yeah, they're together. Let's just hope this one lasts. They recently released their EP for free on the internetz, which you can download here. They're currently working on their full-length and plan to tour in the summer.
The song that pulled me in is "Go Outside." It actually makes me miss the sun and its warmth on my skin. Alas, spring and all its beauty is almost here. What I really dig about this song, is the contrast of the delicate xylophone da roo da da dee and the crazy Jim Jones "death tape" samples in the background.
Here's a video of the entire EP, starting off w/"Go Outside"

Oh, How the Days Will Rain On You

With all this rolling thunder and desperate rain, I can't help myself.

And it feels like it should today
Falling back on a better place
You wouldn't hide awhile
If you knew it for two more days
I wont shovel through
All the shame that led me too
You wouldn't pass it off

Listen to this now

baby piano, an accordion, xylophone, tambourine, finger snaps..... hello love.

This is a VideoSong - a format in which whatever sound you hear is presented in the video. No Timberland-like extras or lip synching, everything is there for you to see and hear. So intimate and beautiful. It's an apple crepe, a smile of a child with chocolate on their face, the little pang in your heart when you stare into the eyes of your love, that first step off of the train onto the tracks...


When I first heard this, I felt like Amelie's blind man at 1:37
