Denver artist Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens is back at it again, but this time under the pseudonym of Andre Cactus. As the love affair with the desolate desert environment has proven to be pivotal for Stevens in past projects, Wentworth & Kersey and Morriconez. Andre Cactus moves the needle even further into the drone territory with an ambient vibe with Corey Ryan, (Ah, River) on “the Desert and the Water” project.
JWS sent over his postcard about the newest collaboration:
Ecstatic to share a new Denver record/art label of DIY experimenters/sound benders and I’m honored to have joined the fam. It has been a true joy to create alongside Corey Ryan, (Ah, River), Joshua Gondrez, Shelby Rahe, Jason Iselin, Tommy Metz, and Michael King to sculpt one piece of Multidim Records. Dune juice for basketball dreamers and truck stop fireworks.
