Cults @ Union Transfer (1/13/12)
I’m skeptical of buzz bands, those haphazardly assembled internet music groups with something like two or three tracks to their name. They make their way around the blogging circuit, some even fortunate enough to have a feature on Stereogum or Pitchfork, while others fall into oblivion with a “one-hit wonder” that makes everyone’s summer playlist or party sampler. Is there anything to qualify the buzz? Can, or rather should, something so ephemeral garner so much attention from trendy youth looking for the next big thing? Maybe, or perhaps not. I won’t say. But it seems like one band, Cults, has the potential to rise above their buzz, and plant their roots firmly into the quickly aging soil of contemporary indie pop.
