“You’ve got to keep ducking and weaving.”
– Billy Duffy
Interviews are not exactly something The Cult’s Billy Duffy enjoys doing. This is something the iconic guitarist reiterates several times in different ways during the course of our 40-minute conversation. However, after remaining mostly silent during his band’s recent Love Live Tour – celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Love album which carried the seminal single “She Sells Sanctuary” – Duffy is biting the proverbial bullet to promote new material.
Working outside of the label system and embracing new technology, The Cult have released two self-styled “capsules” – which are essentially mini downloadable mixed-media packages. The latest, Capsule 2: New Blood Deep Cuts, offers two new tracks, “Embers” and “Until The Light Takes Us,” alongside live versions of classic songs, and an exclusive video performance of “Black Angel.”
We caught up with Duffy while he was in Detroit on the penultimate stop of a 19-date US Tour to find out more.
