You can hearken to the brand new tune and see the total observe itemizing under.
“A Cut Inside” is the second tune launched from Under the Midnight Sun, following lead single “Give Me Mercy,” launched in July. The new tune combines Billy Duffy’s crunchy riffs and hovering guitar leads with Ian Astbury’s gravelly vocals and craving lyrics. “No heathens in heaven / No sweet surrender / Outsiders forever / The ghost of our lives,” he sings within the refrain.
The title of Under the Midnight Sun was impressed by an enchanted summer season night Astbury spent in Finland when the Cult performed the Provinssirock pageant, marveling on the “midnight sun” that doesn’t set all season north of the Arctic Circle. “It’s three in the morning, the sun’s up and there’s all these beautiful people in this halcyon moment,” Astbury mentioned in an announcement. “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.”
The singer elaborated on the magical qualities of music and what he hopes to realize with Under the Midnight Sun. “At the core of it all, music contains the vibrational frequency of how we once communicated before we could even speak,” he mentioned. “Bird songs, animal calls, string theory, quantum physics, psychedelics. The record ultimately is about finding and uniting beauty in those strangely natural moments.”
