THE CULT – UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN
The subject matter for Under the Midnight Sun, The Cult‘s 11th studio album, was inspired by singer Ian Astbury wandering the grounds of a Finnish music festival.
“It’s three in the morning, the sun’s up, and there’s all these beautiful people in this halcyon moment. People are laying on the grass, making out, drinking, smoking. There were rows of flowers at the front of the stage from the performances earlier that evening. It was an incredible moment.” – Ian Astbury (NME)
