Buzz Alert! Cult of Youth gets ace reviews + tours Europe

We blogged about Brooklyn goth rockers Cult of Youth a few weeks ago saying how such a great band should get more visibility… well it seems like the Gods of music listened to our wishes, since the band’s new record "Final Days" is getting rave reviews – including from Pitchfork, which gave it a resounding 8.1, and Stereogum, which chose it as their "Record of the Week." For complex cultural reasons probably due to the fact that American prefer more explicit forms of rebellion, this is a band bound to find most of its audience in Europe (in particular the northern part of it), a continent that welcomes quality dark music and art more than any other. That’s why they are touring it more than thoroughly early next year. They have no local show scheduled right now, but we can imagine they won’t be short of offers after the critical praise they are receiving, so watch out!
