Singer/songwriter/guitarist Michael Sackler-Berner whose first album landed over 20 primetime TV placements returns with his first new solo music in nearly two years. The irreverent and funky "Fantastical" is a departure for Sackler-Berner, who has previously come to be known for his intimate, americana sound. Sackler-Berner explains, “”Fantastical” is the first in a slew of tracks where the song dictates production to the extreme. As a demo, ”Fantastical" leaned towards that funky, Minneapolis sound - Morris Day and the Time, or Prince - so we went all the way in that direction. I really don't care what genre or bin people put my music into anymore. My sound is my songs, so I just want to give each of my songs a chance to be its most fully-realized self. I’m treating them sort of like short stories. "Fantastical" is so unlike anything I've done before that for me it's almost like hearing someone else's record. All my new music is being produced that way and its allowed me to get out of my own head and enjoy playback again.” The video was created by hand in Portland, Oregon by John David McGrew. His claymation has childlike freedom and expressionism that is a natural fit for the surrealist lyrics. Of the lyrics Sackler-Berner said, “I suppose the whole thing is a reminder to be more of what I imagine myself to be and less of what I feel obligated to be. We all need that reminder sometimes, right?” “Fantastical” is produced by midwestern Grammy and Oscar winner Leo Sidran (The Motocycle Diaries) and features The Hornheads, known for their work with the late, great Prince.
