The Cactus Blossoms broke out nationally in 2016 with their JD McPherson-produced debut, You’re Dreaming. The songs here are tender and timeless, with straightforward arrangements centered around brothers Jack Torrey and Page Burkum’s air tight harmonies, and the performances are warm and intimate to match, delivered with a soulful, ’70s-inspired palette of playful Wurlitzer, breezy guitars, and muscular percussion. Written and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, the record explores the tension between optimism and despair that’s defined much of the past few years of American life, examining the power (or naïveté, depending on your perspective) of positive thinking in the face of chaos and uncertainty. “Hey baby, do you wanna take a trip with me? / I’ve got a feeling there might be a silver lining all around.” So begins ONE DAY, the captivating new album from critically acclaimed Minneapolis duo The Cactus Blossoms.
