Cult Of Youth’s Final Days Coming

CULT OF YOUTH STREAMS FINAL DAYS LP VIA PITCHFORK ADVANCE
OUT 11/11/14 ON SACRED BONES RECORDS

ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN TOUR DATES

Cult of Youth’s new album Final Days is being released a week from today but you can stream it right now in it’s entirety via Pitchfork Advance.

Final Days feels like a full realization of the project, it’s everything Cult of Youth has been moving towards for the past seven years — post-industrial, post-punk, and post-enlightenment.

Sean Ragon has been active in the DIY punk, industrial and experimental music communities on the east coast for over 15 years while also running a record store and label in Brooklyn (Heaven Street and Blind Prophet Records, respectively). He has been recording under the moniker of Cult of Youth for the last seven years.

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.

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.

Addendum: Real human bones were used on this recording and a portion of the lyrics were written in jail.
