‘Wake Work Sleep’ is the debut single from Singapore’s Cactus Cactus. It is also the lifestyle I lead, which means I definitely need to shake things up. With their first EP Shoutout Water released this Friday, this quartet have emerged and absolutely melted my mind with noise, so I’m particularly excited to hear more. Once my mind has resolidified, of course.
Equal parts psychedelic and garage rock, ‘Wake Work Sleep’ flits between sprawling walks through the desert and delivering straight up haymakers to the face. What’s great is how much I enjoy being punched in the face by these guys. The strung out, melodic moments add a touch of stability to the mix without compromising the momentum. Infact the speed at which it changes between the two personalities is great, even with the epic solo section thrown in.
Cactus Cactus have certainly made an impression on me. Their debut is thrilling and is absolutely a song that will have you throwing middle fingers to the 9 to 5 routine. I cannot wait to hear Shoutout Water later this week.
