Unafraid to wade into the traumas of the past two years and the eerie sense of apathy that lingers, alongside heartache and more political themes, the 12-track collection openly confronts uncomfortable truths, as Tor puts it, \"70-80% of being bold is about being vulnerable as hell.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaries said: “Writing CACTI took just over a year. I wrote very intensely and then none at all. (This seems to be the way I work best). I picked up old drum machines, mapped out things in my kitchen with the same small micro keyboard I always use and then raided the cupboards and rooms at Invada Studios, to play and experiment with old synths, an upright piano, this weird organ thing. I hope everyone finds their own narrative in CACTI. I think it's about surviving it all.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‘CACTI’ features ‘blue bones’ and ‘balance is gone’ , both of which have been playlisted at BBC 6Music\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecredits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ereleases January 13, 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esongs and words written by tor maries\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eproduced by tor maries and james trevascus\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003einstruments and programming by tor maries\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etracks 1, 2, 3, 7, 11 bass by billy fuller\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etrack 6 cymbals by geoff barrow\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erecorded and mixed by james trevascus\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emastered by shawn joseph at optimum mastering\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003evinyl cut by rhys crouch at optimum mastering\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erecorded at invada studios and tor’s flat\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esleeve design by tor maries and marc bessant\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ephotography by eddie whelan\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ephotographer’s assistants marco torri and oliver shipton\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003estyling by silvia arsenie\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emake up by brigsy smart\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehair by pål berdahl\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethanks to gill linton and skylar kang at byronesque\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethank you to everyone that has supported and stood by me\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eover the past few years.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003egeoff for the constant support and belief. and sarcasm.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ejames for believing in this record.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eeveryone at invada records.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eclaire herron williamson for everything.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eiggy pop for being cool.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eliz and dad for all your love and wisdom. x\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Invada Records [UK]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68067334062368,"sku":"hlu1793383493215","price":16.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/8231\/8624\/files\/billy-nomates-cacti-clear-vinyl-import-new-lp_1.jpg?v=1793383505","url":"https:\/\/milestone-style-fit.shop\/products\/billy-nomates-cacti-clear-vinyl-import-new-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
