Fantastic Negrito
| Please Don’t Be Dead
Cooking Vinyl/Blackball Universe

According to Justin Chadwick: “The past few years have seen Bay Area blues-rock-soul stalwart Fantastic Negrito secure long overdue acclaim, thanks in large part to the winning songcraft showcased on his Grammy-winning 2016 LP The Last Days of Oakland. Never one to rest on his laurels, Negrito packs the guitar-driven heat once again with his inspired follow-up effort, which finds him tackling our confounding, contemporary social and cultural landscape (‘Transgender Biscuits’) and serving up inspiration amid all of the nonsense that currently surrounds us (‘Bullshit Anthem’).”
