Holy Fuck founder Brian Borcherdt (also known for Dusted and the viral Chipmunks on 16 Speed) reunited with long time friend and original Holy F drummer, Loel Campbell, who left to play full time in Wintersleep (and now subs in Broken Social Scene and Billy Talent). Together they came up with ideas for their existing bands but ultimately decided a whole new outlet was needed. Upon moving back to Nova Scotia, they recruited Holy F bassist Matt McQuaid to form Cut Cult. Mairi Chaimbeul would round out the group by contributing the occasional psychedelic harp.
Playing dance floors amidst the sweaty audience and recording live-off-the-floor in living rooms and old halls, Cut Cult found the opportunity to return to early experimentation and also shed the restrictions of their other bands, do things differently, sing more directly… and vent about things happening in real time.
Their debut Three Song EP was mixed by Matt Wiggins (Glass Animals, !!!, Florence and the Machine).
