About the Artist

Cool Cult...

They don’t claim to be shoegaze. They don’t claim to be a mix between The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth and Sunny Day Real Estate. They just claim the songs they write “are like that”.

This is Cool Cult; two thirds having gone to school together, the final third re-introduced at a So So Modern show. Having started out life in Auckland’s all ages scene inspired by the sixities and surf music, Lliam, Maté and Adam’s gradual shift, as evident from releases Zombies and Ice Cream, has seen them move towards a more refined sound.

Bearing hallmarks of the 90′s emo scene, their melodies somehow etch their was through the fuzzy, lo-fidelity noise. It’s the sound of getting crushed emotionally – gently at times consoled by the reverb and the delay.

The shoegazing is simply the end to their sonic means.
