The Lighthouse by Social Youth Cult
This album has been a long, long time in the making. It feels like we've been working on it for decades, even if it's just been two years. Here it finally is, our debut album. The Lighthouse is exactly the beautifully moody, manically experimental and caustically anxious record we wanted it to be. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed (and, at times, didn't enjoy) creating it.
We've let this thing out of its cage. It's your problem now.
Recorded July 2025 across 4 days at the Bunker, Sunderland.
Produced by Phil Jackson.
