DESCRIPTION
Double 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. When Rolling Stone hailed The Cult as “the Messianic moment of Coachella” in 2014, few knew that their next release would be unveiled in February 2016 in the form of Hidden City, their tenth studio album (and second for Cooking Vinyl). The final installment in a trilogy of recordings, completing 2007’s Born Into This and 2012’s Choice of Weapon, Hidden City is a tightly-woven series of experience and visions with underlying themes of redemption and rebirth threaded through The Cult’s visceral music. Produced by Bob Rock and written by Astbury and Duffy, the team has collaborated on what has turned out to be the brutal and beautiful masterpiece Hidden City. From the iconic Love album bursting with idealism to the dystopia of 2001’s Beyond Good & Evil to the current seductive Hidden City, the band lives their art. A new chapter dawns for The Cult as the future unfolds the band will respond. It’s what they do.
