HERMETIC DELIGHTF.A. Cult

𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩. A fizzy name that then melts in your mouth, oscillating between post-punk intensity and melodic loops, just like the band's music, delightful, rather than hermetic.

Although the last decade had gotten us acquainted with the band through their sombrely clad EPs and the nighttime landscapes they depicted, Hermetic Delight's new album, F.A. Cult, lets the light in and summons decidedly pop analogies that bring them closer to Chromatics or to Goldfrapp. With Charles Rowell (Crocodiles – USA) as art director, F.A. Cult transfigurates Hermetic Delight ; it still is magic, white magic.
