English rockers The Cult tapped into a simpler, pre-pandemic time to find inspiration for its latest album, “Under the Midnight Sun,” which will be released on Oct. 7.
It’s the band’s first new record since 2016’s “Hidden City,” and while it was primarily recorded during the pandemic, the roots of these songs go back decades.
“This new album is a really honest, authentic depiction of where we are today,” vocalist Ian Astbury said during a phone interview from his home in Los Angeles as The Cult prepared for its latest tour.
