Last year, Cults shared the previously unreleased songs “Barry” and “Hurting” to celebrate 10 years of their second album Static. Today, the New York alt-pop duo is releasing "Crybaby," their first brand-new material in two years.
“‘Crybaby’ marks a new direction of exploration," Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion said in a statement. "We experimented with a lighter sound influenced by the Crystals, Joe Meek & Kraftwerk. A fun song but also a call out to both sides of codependency.”
The track was produced by Shane Stoneback and is out on IMPERIAL. The band is also announcing a headline North American tour in August, which ends a few weeks before their run opening for Vampire Weekend.
Check out "Crybaby" and the tour dates below.
