The Cult is back in town... this time supporting their latest release Hidden City, available now on Cooking Vinyl. The new record is described as “an environment”, singer Ian Astbury explained, “I find today’s gurus are trying to peddle some cure, product or insight as if it’s a new phenomenon. My place is to respond, not react, to observe, participate and share through words and music. There is no higher authority than the heart.”
