Cacti is the second studio album by English musician and songwriter Billy Nomates. It was released on 13 January 2023 through Invada Records.
All songs and words are written and performed by Nomates, with additional contributions on selected tracks by Billy Fuller on bass and Geoff Barrow on cymbals. The album was recorded both at Invada Studios in Bristol, as well as in her flat.
Cacti continues to focus on themes of politics and relationships, as with her previous self-titled album, however was also heavily influenced by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Critical reception
According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Cacti received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 84 out of 100 from 12 critic scores.
Much of the reception focused positively on the development of Nomates' music since her first release, with the NME stating how she has "taken her signature sound down a completely different avenue" and Clash describing how with a "newfound emotional depth comes a far greater musical variety".
However, The Skinny noted that on this "more subdued" album it "feels like the energy that makes her such a captivating performer is being restricted by her drum machine".
