Need to download the details on Blue Cactus (@blu.cactus) before tomorrow night’s SHAPED BY SOUND on Thursday at 9:30 on PBS NC (@mypbsnc)? Well we’ve got the playlist for you (link in bio)! As PBS NC’s preview text states matters, “Blue Cactus delivers dreamy country and Americana sounds that will keep your head in the clouds.” But it’s not as if the duo seems to be artificially injecting dreamy effects into traditional genres – rather, by playing it straight and detail-oriented, Steph Stewart and Mario Arnez bring out the dreaminess that was always there in the old forms. For example, they never try to add arbitrary modern elements to a straight up country song like “I Can’t Remember to Forget You.” Rather, by being utterly faithful to the old ways and to classic country songwriting, they preserve their enduring strangeness in our times.
