Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 9:00PM In Cults' new video for "You Know What I Mean," the band has some important lessons to teach. First off, dads are messed up, especially when you want to date their daughter. Second, fire is dangerous, so don't fuck with it. And third, love prevails, even if you're suffering from severe third degree burns. Check it out above, via NPR.
Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 12:30PM Last month we saw Cults cover Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" and today The Guardian points towards a studio recording of them performing that very same song. It's part of a new series put together by Columbia called "Old Ideas With New Friends" in which they'll get modern day artists covering their favourite Cohen songs. Up at the top you can see Cults take on the song whilst over on the Vimeo channel you can catch performances of "Paper Thin Hotel" from Greg Dulli and "There Is a War" from Cold War Kids. There are more tracks/performances coming in the coming weeks.
Monday, January 23, 2012 at 9:30AM Cults' debut was welcomed into the lives of many last year and on Friday the NY duo visited the studio of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform their very catchy track, "Abducted". The bands self titled debut is out now but if you're yet to get acquainted with them see what you think with a taste of their live show with the performance at the top courtesy of The Audio Perv.
Monday, January 16, 2012 at 11:15AM Another cover to wrap your ears around following up the Fleet Foxes post earlier is some footage of the NY duo Cults covering Leonard Cohen recently in Philadelphia. They take on Cohen's "Everybody Knows" making it their own with an atmospheric performance of the track paired up with Madeline's lovely yet dark sounding vocal. Cults' self titled debut is out everywhere now. If you're gong to check these guys out live it looks like you'll be treated to this cover too if you're lucky.

25. Theophilus London - Timez Are Weird These Days [Amazon] [iTunes] [Insound]
Following up his critically acclaimed mixtape/unofficial album, This Charming Mixtape and his A Lovers Holiday EP earlier in the year, fashionable rapper Theophilus London earned our undivided attention on his proper debut full length release, Timez Are Weird These Days. I have enjoyed watching London develop over the past few years as he continues to evolve and challenge himself to break new ground. Older fans will appreciate that he didn't stray too far away from what we've grown to love about him while newcomers will find the album approachable enough to dive right in alongside the rest of us. There are many quality tracks that I will continue to rock into the new year, including: "Wine and Chocolates", "I Stand Alone", "Last Name London", "Girls Girls $", and "Lighthouse".—Kibbe

After a New Year's show with Jenny and Johnny, New York indie pop band Cults will be hitting the road again for another round of tour dates in support of their self-titled debut. Following a seven show stint with Australia's Laneway Festival, the band will kick off a North American tour starting on March 2nd in Hoboken, New Jersey. The band will be performing in thirty-two cities over the course of just under two months, so there's a pretty good guarantee that they will be performing in a city near you.
