New single: Western Threads || Sex Cult
Let's talk about dreams
Remember Western Threads? The Austin, Texas-based indie band—Jacob Lewis, Ainsley Richter, Jeff Fazio, Mike Mangiapane, and Christopher McBee—released their captivating debut album Cowboys in Montmartre four years ago. They make a welcome return, and I immediately remembered why I fell for them back then. Their new single, entitled Sex Cult, once again features those characteristic and attractive male-female harmonies, and that sound in which pop, rock and folk merge, with lyrics that are darker than you would expect based on their charming appearance (“Last night I had // A dirty dream // And you were there”). It’s the perfect prelude to their version of the 1899 spiritual Were You There (When They Crucified My Lord), which has also been recorded in the past by Johnny Cash and countless others (“Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble”). Higher powers speaking.
Sex Cult, produced by Western Threads and Justin Douglas, is out now digitally and on limited edition lathe-cut 7″ vinyl (self-released).
