Blue Cactus Leaps into Cosmic Americana with Stranger Again
Stranger Again by Blue Cactus is a dive into the realm of Cosmic Americana Music. The duo’s sound is taller and wider - their guitars aim for the stars and, with the aid of their vibrant band, they’ve unlocked deep, contagious grooves. Alongside their sonic evolution, their songwriting has taken on a keener, more incisive form. Where they used to rely heavily on transient charm and wit, they’re now confronting unnerving concepts head-on and putting pen to paper with newfound confidence. Even as the album lifts itself up and out of the atmosphere, Stewart and Arnez’s voices keep things grounded and relatable. The record finds them mincing no words when singing about the all-too-Earth-bound complexities of relationships, manipulation, sacrifice, estrangement, and jealousy.
Stranger Again is available now on vinyl, cd, digi, and streaming. View release notes
