Last year, The Cult released their 11th studio album ‘Under the Midnight Sun’ . They also announced a US tour is set to kick off in October.
Speaking about the creation of the LP, Astbury discussed how the global pandemic impacted the creative process behind ‘Under The Midnight Sun’. “When the world stopped, I had this moment to write in real time, to calculate,” he said. “I was compelled by this vision, this anomaly, this memory, of being under the midnight sun. [Producer Tom Dalgety] helped us bring a new musical shape and frequency to our process.”
