When The Fantastic Imagination promoted their final show last year, they mentioned that it would be the "last time" the group would be performing "in a while," which felt like very bad news for the band to me. Well, I’m happy to learn that the brief hiatus was actually to work on some new material. The Fantastic Imagination recently shared a track entitled "Slack Ghosts Get Stoned" to remind us "how weird" they are. Weird – maybe, but with the release of the group’s best recording to date, it also reminded me of the band’s serious creative potential. Check it out below! And catch them this evening at Boot & Saddle opening Francisco The Man. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $10, 21+ (Photo by Ben Morgan) – H.M. Kauffman
