"Crybaby" marks a new direction of exploration. We experimented with a lighter sound influenced by the Crystals, Joe Meek & Kraftwerk. A fun song but also a call out to both sides of codependency.
Itâs been an amazing experience watching "Gilded Lily" resurface all these years after its release.
Weâre blown away by the connection that people have developed with the song, and weâre happy to be able to finally make a video for it. We feel like the video captures the kind of headspace we were in when we wrote the music, and hopefully points to the healing power of connection through artistic experience.
We hope you enjoy the video, we love you & thank you for bringing this song back to life!
Our minds are blown and we are so happy that Gilded Lily resonates with so many of you. We love you. Thank you for listening đ„ș

Formed while Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion were still just students in college, Cults first emerged in 2010 with their breakout single, âGo Outside,â from their self-titled debut album, which the New York Times hailed as âone of the indie rock highlightsâ of the year. The duo followed it up with the similarly celebrated âStaticâ in 2013, 2017's âOffering ' (featuring 'Gilded Lily'), and their latest album Host (2020), whilst building up a devoted audience along the way through relentless headline touring and festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Coachella, Austin City Limits, and more.
Four albums in and the duo is still discovering fresh layers and possibilities within their creative relationship, a bond that grows richer and more rewarding by the day.
