----------------------------------------
At its best, harmony duo singing can transform simple math into a magic trick. One plus one, instead of equaling two, suddenly yields an unexpected third thing. An upper-case ONE. A universal hum. A deep vibration that encompasses two different points of view. On their latest release, Every Time I Think About You, brothers Jack Torrey and Page Burkum, aka The Cactus Blossoms, once again prove themselves to be among the most adept â and distinctive â modern practitioners of that magic. But like any great magician, The Cactus Blossoms canât â or wonât â fully explain the illusion they create.
âHarmonies are a big part of our sound, but in some ways theyâre the part we focus on the least,â says Burkum. âWe put most of our attention and energy into the songs themselves and then the harmonies just happen.â
Thereâs all kinds of magic happening on Every Time I Think About You, a record that sounds more like a band than any other in the Cactus Blossoms discography, thanks to contributions from Jeremy Hanson (drums), Jacob Hanson (guitar) and Phillip Hicks (bass). âThere She Goesâ casts its romantic regret against a danceable bop beat, and the title track is a heart-wrencher about loss and letting go.
âEven if you donât set out to write songs with a theme in mind it seems like one usually presents itself,â says Torrey. âThis record keeps returning to the idea of âmoving onâ â from one place to another, from people and situations that bring you down, from loss and grief.â
