FANTAST Chelsea, 20.06.'19

FANTAST is a three-headed crossover band swinging between experimental hip-hop, worldbeats and alternative/industrial. With unexpected twists and unusual sound, scattered worldbeat influences and dreamy field recordings, their music works through the eerie remembrance of growing up and the overbearing power of the past, endless retro loops and promises of the primitive. The present, a time machine which functions only in reverse. Shrouded in the cozy glow of times gone past, a melancholy for a future already lost sneaks up, a disenchantment in the face of the endless recurrence of the same and things we thought long overcome. Yet, even in this mournful defeat stirs a lust for creating, fantasizing and fabricating; a need for music as a necessary tool for imagining a different world.
