Cults (studio album) by Cults

Huge nostalgia factor for me here. This is the early 2010's indie scene in a nutshell. I seriously cannot think of an album that epitomizes it more. The echo-y sound, the strange instrumentation (has any band used a glockenspiel this much before or since?) and the clearly fake drum sounds because neither of the two members of the duo play drums. Good, but nothing special in retrospect.

Really good! Cute!

I enjoyed it thoroughly.

After one listened to the album seems to be interesting. You can listen to a few times :)

Nice album, strong start and holds up well to the end. A personal favourite of 2011

one of the first huge 'internet hype' successes. Starting with a two song EP and not much else information, other than a refreshing echoey indie-pop sound, one of the biggest new bands of the 2010s

For some reason this Album seems so perfect to listen to at this time of year. Everything sounds Christmassy and festive

At times reminding me of a lighter pretty girls make graves, I like the lead singer's voice, how the simple, catchy songs rush forward effortlessly, as all the best 60s/70s r&b girl groups did...and i like that xylophone (or xylo-sounding synth). Fun stuff.

A pretty good album from this year.

I don't think there's too much to get here. This is perfect pool party music. It's something that a whole group of people can enjoy without one of them complaining about the music. It's pretty chill for the most part, the girl voice is not only not annoying but is actually above average. The music reminds me a lot of The Beach Boys or the times that Panda Bear pretends that he's in the Beach Boys. Go Outside is a bonefide hit direct from the Hit Song Emporium. There's nothing wild or unique about it, but this album is above average all the way round. You should probably pick it up if you enjoy music.
