Which comes as no surprise, as the Cult have existed in the shadows and wild spaces since their inception.When the Cult played Coachella, Rolling Stone hailed their performance as the messianic moment of Coachella. For the Cult, Hidden City, became the perfect metaphor for the revolt between the self and soul and provided the framework for the new album.I find todays gurus are trying to peddle some cure, product or insight as if its a new phenomenon, says Ian Astbury. My place is to respond, not react, to observe, participate and share through words and music. There is no higher authority than the heart.The Cult have cut their own career path. From the iconic Love album to the dystopian Beyond Good amp Evil 2001 to the current biting truth of Hidden City, the band live their art. As The future unfolds The Cult will respond. Its what they do.
