Cult Canyon is the new project from Josh Chicoine (the M’s, Cloudbirds). Working with yet another stellar set of collaborators, Cult Canyon released it’s first EP, Golden Line, in November ‘24. The three songs on Golden Line revolve around Dave Max Crawford’s (Total Pro Horns) beautiful string arrangements and are a continuation of Josh’s work with acoustic guitar and Nick Drake-ian chamber pop influences.
For this show at the Hideout, Cult Canyon will be bringing that music to life with a string quartet, playing songs from Golden Line alongside songs from the next phase of songs from 2 releases coming in the Spring, and a proper 6-piece rock setup with more psyche-pop nods and art rock influences. But there is some Calexico and do-wop as well, so it’s hard to pin down.
