It’s an “acid-dipped strawberry picnic” apparently.

Cults share galactic split video for 'Right Words' and 'Natural State'

New York duo Cults have shared their new joint video for ‘Right Words’ and ‘Natural State’ - featuring strawberries, slices of space, a skin-crawling amount of ants, and the band’s Madeline Follin.

Directed by directed by Elliott Sellers, and animated by Lucy Dyson, the visual was shot in a single day when Madeline happened to be in LA for a wedding. Shot in Griffith Park, they set out to bring to life an “acid-dipped strawberry picnic idea,” says Sellers, “and some classic cut-up/collage techniques.” A split video of sorts, ‘Right Words’ is a bonkers, psychadelic swirl, while “‘Natural State’ was basically the come down of all the psychedelic 2D animation, existing in the real world. Long live ‘Flat-Madeline.’”

The band returned last year with their latest album ‘Offering’. They play a couple of UK dates later this month - head here for details.
