Rock band CVLTE fuse coming-of-age ennui with shimmering synths. Visceral guitar riffs bleed into a jagged bedrock of beats, but it’s lead singer aviel’s gorgeous, gut-wrenching and intimate vocals that cut deepest. CVLTE began playing local shows in 2018 and steadily built their fan base with a succession of candidly cathartic releases. Melding English and Japanese lyrics with a kaleidoscope of sonic influences, aviel, HAL, Takuya and Fuji shatter genre borders to dust while bringing moments of musical delight.
