  • Description

    Original Midlands post-punks Cult Figures return with third album Between Us And Heaven, comprising twelve tracks that illustrate the seismic changes both within the band and the world at large since 2021's critically acclaimedDeritend.

    The album sees original guitarist Jon Hodgson, bassistLee McFadden and drummerStuart Hilton joined by new membersFraser Gillespie (lead vocals) and Steve May (guitar), as well as contributions from co-founding singer Gary Jones, who tragically lost his life in 2022, and to whose memory the album is dedicated.

    Previously a member of Berlin/London electropunks Das Fluff, Steve is also a revered children's book illustrator. Before joining the band Fraser, an enigmatic Glaswegian poet and bridge builder had little previous recording experience, and had never played a gig in his life! The enthusiasm of both, though, has solidified their essential importance to the line-up in double-quick time, their contributions helping shape the group as a powerful and original live proposition.

    Once again the band worked on the album with legendary producer John Rivers (Specials, Paul Weller, Felt) at his Woodbine Street Studio in Leamington Spa-continuing a shared history dating back to Cult Figures'1979 debut single (and still popular live favourite)'Zip Nolan', which saw Gary and Jon backed by their influential mentors, Swell Maps.
