There was a high of 83° today. Needless to say I spent a good part of the day outdoors, even got to go for a nice bike ride. While looking for my soundtrack to this great day and fumbling with an Arizona Green Tea I came upon a 7" I got earlier in the week but hadn't listened to yet. The band is called Cults and they turned out to be a perfect fit for a nice spring day. The first track "Go Outside" as seen by a quick google search, seems to be the most talked about track but the b-side "Most Wanted" was the track that really caught my attention. It sounds straight from 1960 in the best way possible, summer pop jam put a smile on my face right away. 60's pop riffs followed by fantastic female vocals. Truly a perfectly constructed lo-fi pop gem. It reminded me of riding my bike and listening to a bootleg Four Seasons cassette as a kid, very nostalgic--and I haven't heard a good pop single in awhile.
Some further research revealed that this is a boy-girl film school duo from New York and not much else other than the fact that they are fantastic. I think we are supposed to get one more day of good weather before the cold sets back in if you're in the midwest so don't hesitate to grab this one and get outside.
Grab the whole 7" for free over at the band's site here
and listen to my favorite track "Most Wanted"
