Under the Midnight Sun is the eleventh studio album by the British rock band The Cult, released on 7 October 2022 through Black Hill Records.

[3] In a June 2019 interview with LA Weekly, vocalist Ian Astbury stated that The Cult were "long overdue" to release new music, noting that "we do have some stuff we've been working on, but it's yet to see the light of day.

[6] On August 15, 2020, guitarist Billy Duffy announced on his Twitter that the band had begun recording with producer Tom Dalgety at Rockfield Studios.

[2] Progress was slow for nearly two years, hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the album being recorded remotely, with the half of the band tracking it at Rockfield Studios and Astbury in the United States.

Blabbermouth.net contributor Dom Lawson praised the new album, noting that it "imagines a new strain of muscular rock, where psychedelic string sections, the desert-bound twang of Duffy's guitar and prosaic but gripping melodies drift in and out of the motoring throng.
