The Cult has announced a new album, Under The Midnight Sun, due out Oct. 11.
The LP was inspired by frontman Ian Astbury’s experience at the Provinssirock festival in Finland, held at a location so far north that during the summer the sun doesn’t set.
“It’s three in the morning, the sun’s up, and there’s all these beautiful people in this halcyon moment,” Astbury explained via press release. “People are laying on the grass, making out, drinking, smoking. There were rows of flowers at the front of the stage from the performances earlier that evening. It was an incredible moment.”
