Memphis-based Ex-Cult have shared new track Let You In, the second offering from their upcoming album ‘Negative Growth,’ out September 23 via In The Red. Listen to the track via SoundCloud below.
Recorded and produced by Ty Segall (Shaw’s GØGGS bandmate), ‘Negative Growth’ is Ex-Cult’s third full-length album and is available for physical preorder via In The Red and digital preorder via iTunes.
“In the year of the snitch, there are forces beyond your control that keep you up at night. Ghost notions that swirl around your room while you sleep. Your own pillow laughing right in your face while you fight for an hour of rest. There are voices that whisper from the corner, telling you everything you never wanted to hear. ‘Negative Growth’, our third album, is dedicated to fear and deception.
This collection of songs were conceived in Memphis and finalized in Los Angeles, with the help of our family doctor Ty Segall. It was created in February 2016, when we traded Memphis misery for a week of California sunshine. ‘Negative Growth’ is a nine-track nightmare, a death trip in the crystal ship. Out [September 23rd], the institution known as In The Red Records will do the honors. The Hollywood Heat Seeker takes ten years off your life.” – Chris Shaw
