Moody, sweeping electronic elegance drives the chilly pulse of Cult With No Name , the London duo of Erik Stein and Jon Boux. Coming across as the dour, atmospheric "post-punk balladeer" cousins of the more sprightly dance-pop mavens The Pet Shop Boys, this no-wave Cult worships at the bleak, slow-mo, synth-driven altar like a goth version of The Blue Nile. No one's breaking a sweat here but that icy indifferent style is part of the pair's nonchalant, if occasionally über -arty appeal. Above As Below , their fifth album in five years, [...]
"Self-professed "post-punk electronic balladeers" the London duo of Erik Stein (lead vocals/rhythm piano) and Jon Boux (lead piano/rhythm vocals) have created a unique piano/vocal sound that uncannily captures both the subtlety and sophistication of Erik Stein's personal lyrical stylings". Adrenalin is Cult With No Name`s fourth studio album and continuing with the Trakwerx glorious attention to detail, the packaging is equally as stunning as the gems within. This UK based duo base their heavy piano influences on pure melodic imagery - This release tackles all our eternal hopes and fears. Adrenalin is a deeply rich affair [...]
What are "post-punk electronic balladeers"? Air ? Boards of Canada ? Those would be my first guesses. But the genre "post-punk electronic balladeer" is a self proclaimed type of music that the UK duo Cult With No Name coined. Sounding very similar to the latter two bands I mentioned, Erik Stein (lead vocals/rhythm piano) and Jon Boux (lead piano/rhythm vocals) have more of a Leonard Cohen croon mixed with that haunting and lonesome electro-ballad sound. Their latest record, Careful What You Wish For is more of that dark melodic feel with [...]
The almost obligatory goals and game plans are launched this time of year, sometimes based on last years failures or the continued snippets of self praise you have saved for that rainy day. This year, putting aside the numerous take-down notices and the odd legal letter causing some mild bottom fluctuations, we will be almost certainly reviewing a larger proportion of unsigned and independent artists and generally promoting the expanding live scene a lot more. Here`s to a few of you sticking around this year and giving us the perfect excuse to annoy some more people, maybe even making a [...]
Cult With No Name are a duo hailing from London, England, producing wonderfully unique piano pop music that is undoubtedly reminiscent of 1980's synth and piano ballads. Self-described "post-punk electronic balladeers", band members Erik Stein and Jon Boux have released their second album, "Careful What You Wish For" following their 2007 debut album "Paper Wraps Rock" and it is sure to please fans with its haunting and memorable vocals and lyrics. "Careful What You Wish For" includes a beautiful cover of "Golden Brown" by 80's rock band The Stranglers, which undoubtedly adds to the nostalgic feel [...]

The second album release to date from`Cult With No Name`is a true master of disguise, a shaman of multiple influences laid down with care and precision, something quite beautiful is formed between keyboards and vocals, something very special. `Careful What You Wish For` seems almost haunting during parts of this fourteen track journey, cautiously jubilant in others, Erik Stein and Jon Boux have managed to very successfully create an album so original, it unquestionably seems years ahead of it`s time.
