Of the smattering of songs we (the blogosphere) have received from San Francisco band Cults, "You Know What I Mean," is the bases loaded grand slammer out of the park into the parking lot right through a car window.
Taking cues from 60s girl groups like the The Shirelles or The Supremes, Madeline Follin lays down the lovelorn soulfulness, dancing around the melody before guitarist Brian Oblivion cranks it up to 11 for a severely mind melting chorus.
The low-to-high transition between verse and chorus is nothing new, but Cults pull it off with panache. "You Know What I Mean," perfectly articulates form without sacrificing any attention to detail or gosh darn genuine emotion. Breathtaking.
