After a 12-month period since their last releases, Manchester trio Cultures are back and ready to make 2023 a defining year for this up-and-coming group.
Cultures – Meteorite
Cultures is an Indie rock triplet consisting of Tom Deegan (Bass backing vocals), Josh Spivey (Lead Vocals and Guitar), and James Saunders (Drums). Over the last few years, their hard work and dedication have taken them to perform at iconic venues such as Germany’s Giant Rooks at Night & Day Cafe and Marsicans at the Deaf Institute, giving them a reputation of being one of the most promising new acts in Manchester.
Beautifully penned and arranged, their latest delivery Meteorite is three and a half minutes of emotionally charged Alternative rock finesse, Josh’s soft vocals are the perfect fit for the melancholic guitar chords, making this sublime piece an ideal accompaniment for an evening staring at the night sky.
Symbolic in many ways, Meteorite is arguably one of the most profound melodies that this outfit has crafted thematically speaking, addressing themes of identity and overcoming difficult experiences in life. And while it doesn’t talk directly about the pandemic, it certainly feels like it could’ve been a byproduct of it:
“Although I didn’t actually write the lyrics about Covid, that time spent cooped up inside and away from the world is one of the main things I think about now when I listen to the track back. We wrote the song at our drummer James’ place during a writing session when Tom saw a plane out of the window and we joked about it being a meteorite coming down. It made me think about how life would be and how we would start over again if everything ended right now“- said the band about the song.
Meteorite is a gorgeous display of soulful songwriting hidden underneath superb musicianship.
Aside from a fantastic new composition, Cultures will also embark on their first-ever tour on four dates all over the UK, starting with a hometown show on April 8th at the Factory, and considering what we’ve seen from this act, it will be a must-see show for any Indie Rock fans out there.
