The Meltdown, Melbourne’s purveyors of the finest country soul are pleased to announce the release of their newest single ‘Don’t Hesitate’! Joyous, upbeat and fiery, ‘Don’t Hesitate’ lifts us up and onto the dance floor urging us to push aside our fears and troubles and live in the moment. Blazing horns, sugar sweet backing vocals and Simon Burke’s honey voice take us back to the days of Stax and Motown with a little Nashville for good measure. After the sweetness of the last single, the ballad ‘Colours In The Sky’, this is a more boisterous taste of their soon to be released self-titled debut album, due out April 7th 2017.

Pre-order The Cactus Channel & Sam Cromack’s 6-track EP on 12″ vinyl!
Melbourne alt-soul gang The Cactus Channel have released ’Sorry Hills’, the first single with Sam Cromack (Ball Park Music, My Own Pet Radio) from a collaborative 6-track EP due in April. That EP is now available for pre-orders! Only 500 being made worldwide… Shipping in April/May.
This EP treads a thin line between alt-soul and the best of indie pop, swimming in compelling atmospherics and deftly weaving Cromack’s rich, drawling vocal and disarming, meditative lyrics through the band’s typically intuitive arrangements. Lyrically, “Sorry Hills” is heavy with a kind of guilty melancholy that belies the wordplay in its title — Cromack’s dark, introspective lyrics are accompanied by an instrumental that buzzes with a slight sense of paranoia: in the song’s instrumental bridge, the rhythm section simmers as horns let forth quiet squeals.
The Cactus Channel tease EP with Sam Cromack
Just after announcing a national tour, The Cactus Channel have announced that they’ll be releasing a 6-track EP with Sam Cromack (Ball Park Music, My Own Pet Radio). The first single ‘Sorry Hills’ will be out February 10th, with the full EP due in April through HopeStreet.
For now they’ve left us with a little teaser of what happened in the studio:
Sam Cromack has been busy with Ball Park Music’s ‘Every Night The Same Dream’ album that was released late last year.
“I got into The Cactus Channel years ago and I was thrilled when we met each other and talked about maybe making some music. Working on the EP has been a lot of fun, it’s been very laid back. They’re extremely talented players so it’s been kinda effortless. The sound is nice; it’s probably some of the moodiest and most chilled-out music I’ve ever made. It’s gonna be a good late-night record.” – Sam Cromack
Expect to see The Cactus Channel & Sam Cromack around Australia for 3-date tour in May/June. Dates TBC.
