The headliner for Sunstock Solar Festival was the lo-fi, psychedelic, indie pop duo Cults. Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivian’s 60’s infused, experimental pop music received great acclaim in 2010 and 2011 with strong reviews by publications like NME and Pitchfork. Personally, I was a big fan of the 2013 release, “Static” because of the dark and somber tones of the music and introspective and heartfelt lyrics of that album.

The Cults’ music  is quite intricate and layered with sound. I’ve seen them live three times and the way they delicately balance the music against the vocals, with the vocals at times just hovering over the music, always impresses me.

For those who stuck around after hours (the music program was running about an hour late at this point), those in the audience were treated to the band wooing the crowd with their mysterious experimental pop. Madeline Follin seemed to be in peak form as her vocals sounded, at least to me, as good as it sounds on their albums.
