Cults’ Brian Oblivion has previously described the influence New York had on their second album, saying:

We had a lot of conversations about the lifestyle here in New York and the kind of entitlement people feel here and the selfishness and the need to succeed and the never accepting of anything good. That, to me, is what the album is rebelling against, the idea of your life as a cookie cutout of what you’re told is success, and how people quest after that while doing things that burn great relationships with people or communities, which could lead to a totally different kind of happiness or success.

Static was preceded by great lead single ‘High Road’, the video to which is below. Below that you’ll find the full tracklisting for Static
