ultCult

It’s only a matter of time before ultCult are making waves in the music industry. They already have a UK tour supporting Tokyo Police Club under their belt amongst other accolades such as opening for Los Campesinos! I’m not exactly sure where they are from; they played the local swimming baths a few months ago so I’m assuming they’re from Wakefield or the surrounding area.

The music is pleasantly mysterious; whenever I listen to ultCult they bring a smile to my face similar to when the smell of my Nan’s Sunday dinner floats around the corner from the kitchen. The use of organs, accordions and glockenspiels is quite refreshing with the amount of plain guitar bands that are about at the minute. The soft female vocals provide the bubblewrap to complete this lovely lo-fi pop package. Most of the songs including ‘Odious Emporium’ and ‘Kite Augen’ sound pretty much like bedroom demos but with a bit of polishing could be real gems.
