5. Motels LP (2018)
“Probably the most infantile piece of pop music that I’ve come across in a long time. Unfortunately, as with all things that are truly infantile, I find it embarrassingly hard to resist.”
4. Host (2020)
“Great electro-pop. Terrific songwriting, great vocals, superb musicianship. Another solid and sexy album by one of my favorite bands.. The distorted vocals from Madeline Follin lends itself well to the off-kilter sound the band is aiming for.”
3. Offering (2017)
“Another set of Phil Specter-esque sparkling pop confections from the ever reliable Cults. Madeline Follin’s vocals always manage to push through the haze of twinkling synths and reverb-ed drums thanks to the duo’s terrific melodic sensibility, though this, their third effort, is cursed by a kind of blanket mid-tempo samey-ness, one that holds it back until Cults slow things down for the gorgeous closer “Gilded Lily.””
2. Static (2013)
“Guitar driven pop, with quite repetitive moments at times. Yet the echoed indie sound mixed in with all the other elements in the music make this a very comfortable and quite easy to listen to poppy album. Apart from the nice guitar sound, there are also some melodies to support those. Although being 11 tracks on it, it felt like the album passed by rather fast.”
1. Cults (2011)
“Its a very simple and repetitive twee pop album, featuring distorted vocals and addictive guitars. The songs loop around very similar hooks, and reaching the 3 minutes mark they already feel like they are dragging a long. These are songs to last half that time ideally.”
