Cults - Static

Despite how much I liked - and continue to like - their debut, Static wasn't super immediate for me, taking a few listens to hit. But now that it's done so, aided by some city listening last Sunday, first day of summer (specifically while sitting outside the NGV in the sunshine, enjoying a takeaway Campos coffee), I'm really getting it...'static' is a good title, because the music's static-sweet - hazily, shimmeringly crackly, like a pop record equivalent of an alcoholic milkshake, full of tiny crunching shards of ice.
