Cain Culto operates in a world of high drama and warped pop maximalism. A former worship pastor turned provocateur, his transformation from former moniker Ecclesia to Culto is more than just a name change - it’s a reclamation. Cain, the biblical exile, meets Culto, the Spanish word for worship, in a persona that turns spirituality, sexuality and spectacle into something subversive.
His latest track ‘KFC SanterÃa’ is Culto at full power: part sermon, part satire, part hyperreal fever dream. Warped choir samples and erratic percussion crash into his unmistakable falsetto.
The song’s disorienting energy finds its centre in an unexpectedly sticky hook, where Culto’s voice floats, seductively out of place - like the divine trapped in a fast-food trance.
It’s a track that demands repeated listens, each listen revealing another layer of its surreal, biting critique. If Culto is positioning himself in the lineage of art-pop auteurs, ‘KFC SanterÃa’ makes a strong case that he belongs there.
