The Cult have released a new music video for their new song ‘Hinterland’ from their forthcoming album Hidden City, releasing on February 5th from Cooking Vinyl. You can watch the video at this link or below:

Produced by Bob Rock (Metallica), Hidden City was co-written by mainstays Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy. Astbury commented on the video and the concept of the new album:

“Hinterland’s a place both real and imagined, a hidden city symbolic of a new Rome. Through the eyes of several witnesses, we observe a young woman as she realizes her enlightened self in a dystopian dream world. ‘Hinterland’ is filled with symbolism, reflecting a new aeon in the shift of human consciousness as we realign with our planet’s natural rhythms.”

“Hidden City is a metaphor for our spiritual lives, our intimate interior lives. I find today’s gurus are trying to peddle some cure, product or insight as if it’s a new phenomenon. My place is to respond, not react, to observe, participate and share through words and music. There is no higher authority than the heart.”
