The Cult - Dreamtime

Dreamtime is the debut studio album by British rock band The Cult, originally released in August 1984 via Beggars Banquet.

The Cult is fronted by Ian Astbury on vocals and Billy Duffy on guitar. Their music and albums at this point need no introduction as they have cemented themselves.

Originally released in 1984, following the band’s evolution from the Southern Death Cult, to Death Cult, and then simply The Cult, Dreamtime finds the outfit featuring Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy, pivoting from their goth and punk roots into something eclectic, aspirational, and adventurous.

Rife with lyrical references to the indigenous cultures of the Americas and Australia, and set against a more bombastic and muscular musical backdrop, Dreamtime hints at what would envelop the band over the next four decades, a dedication to their wholly unique songwriting, both musically and thematically, and the frenzy that was soon to come with the release of Love only a year later.

This album is a 40^th Anniversary limited edition reissue on dark red coloured vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in the UK via Rough Trade.
