Fantastic Cat

Fantastic Cat is an indie music supergroup consisting of Anthony D’Amato, Brian Dunne, Don DiLego, and Mike Montali.

Galvanized by a transformative journey into the spiritual vortices of the Pocono Mountains, Fantastic Cat found inspiration for their sophomore effort in the world of mind-expanding psychedelics: they dropped antacids, experimented with mushrooms (primarily porcini), and even began micro-dosing a variety of hard seltzers. The result was an album that could only be described as “Christopher Cross crossed with Kris Kristofferson,” a bewildering blend of stepdad rock and in-law country destined to solidify their status as your least favorite songwriter’s favorite songwriters. But no one hit the record button, and the sessions went mercifully undocumented.

Instead, the album they turned in to the label is an entirely different collection, one that meets (but does not exceed) the minimum Grammy® eligibility requirements in all major televised categories. Now That’s What I Call Fantastic Cat!
