Her Fantastic Cats debut record “i”

“i” introduces one of the most idiosyncratic and personal song cycles of the year.  Her Fantastic Cats has developed a reputation as a whirlwind performer- foot-stomping on a retro-fitted “porta-porch” suitcase, shouting into his banjo and beating it like a snare drum, all while spinning out strange, rolling music to accompany strangely moving words that blur any distinction between past and present, and memory and fantasy.
This is a record where thunderstorms act like bad houseguests, birds turn into dinosaurs, fireflies ignite into space shuttles, and the image of a bobcat stepping on its last pair of suspenders somehow both makes sense and seems like a really big deal.
SOFT RELEASE (Digital and CD)- 8/9 @ NORMALS BOOKS AND RECORDS (w/ Wyoming exploded, Viking Moses, Bobby E. Lee and the sympathizers, and American Folklore)
