News: Lee Scott

Another Friday, another new release, as we unveil the new full-length collaboration between CLBRKS and Morriarchi. Having already blessed us with a couple of tasty singles along the way, we can now indulge ourselves with a full serving of Microwave Cooking 2000. As you would expect, the album comes with a strong Blah contingent in tow, with CL and Morri bringing in Bisk, Capriisun, Lee, Conrad Mundy and Obijuan to assist, resulting in a heady blend of styles but each complemented perfectly thanks to Morriarchi's as ever on point production. You can hear the album in full below, with downloads and physicals available from the usual spots.

We continue our run of new releases with the latest single from Lyza Jane. She's chosen to cover one of her personal favourites, the Echo and the Bunnymen classic, The Killing Moon, accompanied by production from Lee Scott and Jack Chard. You can hear it for yourself below, with downloads and streams available from the usual spots.

We all know by now that Lee loves a surprise drop and last night we discovered that even in the midst of a global pandemic that attitude hasn't changed, thanks to the arrival of a brand new EP. Gold Dust sees the beloved cult leader joining forces with fellow COTD affiliate, Bisk, as well as previous collaborator and all-round production juggernaut, Sadhu Gold. The result is this six track EP, featuring a lot of the gritty, lo-fi down tempo sounds that Bisk and Lee always sound at home on, along with some choice guest spots from Koncept Jack$on, Swiv and Jack Danz.  You can stream the EP in full below and downloads are available from Bandcamp, where for today only they are waiving their processing fees, which means 100% of the sales will go directly to the artists. Invest if you can.

Following on from the arrival of the new video from CLBRKS and Morriarchi last week, today we are pleased to reveal more info about their forthcoming album. Microwave Cooking 2000 is set for release on 27 March, accompanied by some particularly sweg and timely artwork, courtesy of Blah photography favourite, Harvey W-F (@hwfpht). As well as the two main stars of the attraction, there will also be some finely selected contributions from Lee Scott, Obijuan, Conrad Mundy, Capriisun and Bisk. Plus the album will be available in a stunning limited edition vinyl version, which is available to order now over at the shop. Stay tuned for more album news coming soon. 

It's been a while since we treated you to some new COTD material, so today we bring you a brand new video from the crew, plus some merch and vinyl news.

OFFIE is the first we've heard from the Cult since their 2018 album, but as you will see and hear, they have lost none of that unbridled raw sweg energy in the interim. Featuring Lee, Milk, Barebase, Shakes, Grubb, Sly Moon and Salar, plus some suitably gritty production from Lee and Wholesome Fun, this is COTD in their purest form.

The video was released to coincide with the new COTD vinyl that has just gone up for pre-order, as well as a new logo tee, which you can see in the video being worn to devastating effect. Both the vinyl and t-shirt are available to order now.

Lee Scott keeps the videos coming, with this latest visual feast for Applause, which is lifted from the ffsman ep. This time round the cult leader is joined by the MC duo, languid.oceans, which is comprised of looms. and Bad Taste Records affiliate, Obijuan. The track was produced by Wiardon and the video was made by keefjojoo. The ffsman ep is available to cop now from all the usual spots.

Yesterday we released a brand new video from Lee Scott's latest album, Somewhere Between Here and There. Somewhere is the opening track from the album and sets the tone for what follows, as Lee delivers semi-autobiographical life notes from the early days of a Runcorn kid. The track was produced by Wholesome Fun and the video was made by Siim Parisoo out in Estonia. It stars Karina Laura Leškin and Väike PD (complete with tin foil fronts). Somewhere Between Here and There is available now on both physical and digital formats.

It's been a little while since we blessed you with some merch and we know how you're always fiendin' for anything new and Cult, so today we have dropped a fresh Cross Face hoodie to satisfy your cravings. The hoodie comes in a faded dark grey and features the iconic Lee Scott cross face logo, embroidered on to the chest. There's also further detail on the arm, which you can see below. Orders for the limited edition run of 60 are available now over at the shop and the hoodies will be shipping from 31 January.
