History

Cults formed in 2010 while Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin were students at New York University.[1] They began making music in their spare time to share with their friends, including fellow band Bedhead.[citation needed] Madeline had previously recorded with punk band Youth Gone Mad on the album Touching cloth. Cults self released an EP, Cults 7" with the track "Go Outside" named "Best New Music" by Pitchfork Media.[2]

Their self-titled debut album, Cults, was released on June 7, 2011, by Columbia Records imprint In the Name Of run by Lily Allen.[3] The album received generally positive reviews,[4][5] and a second "Best New Music" from Pitchfork was earned for the track "Abducted".[6]

In 2011 Cults collaborated with the group Superhuman Happiness on a version of the track "Um Canto De Afoxé para o Bloco Do Ilê" for the Red Hot Organisation's most recent charity album Red Hot+Rio 2. The album is a follow-up to the 1996 Red Hot + Rio. Proceeds from sales will be donated to raise awareness and money to fight AIDS/HIV and related health and social issues. The band have been chosen to perform at the ATP I'll Be Your Mirror festival curated by ATP & Portishead in September 2011 in Asbury Park, New Jersey[7], and also by Battles to perform at the ATP Nightmare Before Christmas festival that they co-curate in December 2011 in Minehead, England.
