At its best, harmony duo singing can transform simple math into a magic trick. One plus one, instead of equaling two, suddenly yields an unexpected third thing. An upper-case ONE. A universal hum. A deep vibration that encompasses two different points of view. On their latest release, Every Time I Think About You, brothers Jack Torrey and Page Burkum, aka The Cactus Blossoms, once again prove themselves to be among the most adept - and distinctive – modern practitioners of that magic. But like any great magician, The Cactus Blossoms can’t - or won’t - fully explain the illusion they create.

"Harmonies are a big part of our sound, but in some ways they’re the part we focus on the least," says Burkum. "We put most of our attention and energy into the songs themselves and then the harmonies just happen."
