Album artwork for Cult Classic by Jon Bryant

New to Vancouver, alternative/singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Bryant sought connection. After joining, spending time with and eventually leaving the NXIVM cult, Bryant’s fascination with cults began to percolate and became the framework for his full-length Nettwerk debut album Cult Classic. After reclaiming his independence, Bryant settled into Afterlife Studios (Vancouver) with producer John Raham, he set about recording Cult Classic. This time around, he switched up the process. Rather than compose on guitar, he challenged himself by writing on piano from the start and found childhood inspiration from artists such as Bruce Hornsby, The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan. By welcoming the warmth of analog synths into the sonic architecture, he explored styles that he had always wanted. As a result, the sound evokes a sweeping and soaring cinematic scope.
