Cult Leader Tactics marks Paul Draper’s sharp return, delivering his most focused and ambitious work since Mansun’s peak. Draper satirically unpacks the self-help genre through darkly comic, Machiavellian tales of ambition, power, and manipulation—ultimately concluding that love is life’s only real answer. Featuring guest spots from Steven Wilson and a 288-voice choir, the album is a bold, synth-laced, and biting reflection on the music industry and human nature.
