Cat Out of Hell [LP] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Fantastic Cat has defied the odds - and their therapists' strong recommendations - to return with their third and most likely to prompt a lawsuit from the Meat Loaf estate album yet, Cat Out Of Hell, out April 10 via Missing Piece Records. Produced by the band and mixed by D. James Goodwin (Goose, Kevin Morby, The Hold Steady), the collection elevates Fantastic Cat's trademark blend of craftsmanship and chaos to new sonic heights, capturing the freewheeling, lightning in a bottle energy of their must-see live show and channeling it into a ramshackle house party full of existential searchers, desperate romantics, and barstool philosophers. And while Fantastic Cat has been dubbed "the Harlem Globetrotters of Americana" by Rolling Stone and "The Wu-Tang Clan of folk rock" by The Village Voice, the band is definitely better seen than described, so quit reading now and go watch the new music video for lead single "Donnie Takes The Bus," which finds the harmony-trading, instrument-swapping four-piece replaced by some surprisingly buff body doubles.
