Three is the magic number for The Cactus Channel. The ever-evolving Melbourne collective’s third album Stay A While represents a new consciousness and a decisive turning point. Unloosed from their earlier incarnation as an instrumental soul and funk band into something wilder, a little darker and heavier, the new album sees The Cactus Channel diving in deep to dreamlike soundtracks, electrifying wig-outs and woozy meditations.
The new embodiment of The Cactus Channel flexes their classic soul and funk influences whilst expanding their own songwriting along psychedelic paths, adding weight and substance to their melodic and rhythmic axis. There were signifiers along the road; a boundary-splintering EP with <a href="spotify:artist:1ououJVWgWsHWMYDLvT7sH" data-name="Ball Park Music">Ball Park Music</a> singer <a href="spotify:artist:1D2RLprT5J5pBauiOgRlAa" data-name="Sam Cromack">Sam Cromack</a> in 2017, following a 7” single collab with <a href="spotify:artist:1UDUiI2zRcSfgBf101wnns" data-name="Nick Murphy">Nick Murphy</a>, released as The Cactus Channel feat. <a href="spotify:artist:2Q0MyH5YMI5HPQjFjlq5g3" data-name="Nick Murphy">Nick Murphy</a>. These outings were a glimpse of the alchemy of adding vocals to the band’s typically intuitive, instrumental arrangements. And now with the band’s own Lewis Coleman stepping up to the mic, a vocal dimension has become part of The Cactus Channel’s fully formed, signature sound.
