For their third full-length for Sacred Bones, Cult of Youth have delved
deeper into their style of punk-influenced psychedelic neofolk and
created a self- described “post-industrial Pet Sounds.”
Using acoustic and electronic instruments, found sounds and an extensive
tribal rhythm section, Cult of Youth have put it all out on the table
and left us with their magnum opus.
The band has returned with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and an all-new lineup.
Sean Ragon, once the project’s lone member, is now flanked by Jasper
McGandy on bass and Christian Kount on electric guitar (both of whom
were members of seminal Sacred Bones band The Hunt).
Cory Flannigan on drums and Paige Flash on cello complete the five-piece.
The end result is Cult of Youth as they were always meant to sound.
The contributions of the new members are evident on every track on Final
Days, from the anthemic “Empty Faction” to the gorgeous album closer
“Roses.
” Final Days is the culmination of everything Cult of Youth has been
moving towards the past seven years — post-industrial, post-punk, and
post-enlightenment.
