His overwhelming new album, *FantasticThoughts*, is now available via Leaving Records—an album that breaks through the dams of imagination and reimagines progressive rock, jazz fusion, ambient, and electronic music with dazzling creativity. The CD is available exclusively in Japan via PLANCHA!\n\nNate Mercereau is a Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, songwriter, and producer. Known for his contributions to Andre 3000’s landmark album *New Blue Sun* and his work with Carlos Nino and Josh Johnson in the Openness Trio, he has also collaborated as a producer, composer, and performer on projects by Leon Bridges, Lizzo, JAY-Z, The Weeknd, Shawn Mendes, Sade, John Legend, P!nk, and A$AP Rocky. A rare musician who has spanned the spectrum from the forefront of pop music to improvisational and experimental music—including touring the world as a member of Sheila E.’s band—he is a true polymath.\nSince his full-fledged solo debut album *JoyTechniques* in 2019, Mercereau has shifted his focus from session work to his own artistic expression, carrying on the legacy of jazz fusion and progressive rock while updating them into a contemporary sound. He has also released numerous unconventional works that push the boundaries of the guitar and sound, such as *digi-squires* with Sam Gendel, collaborations with Carlos Nino, Surya Botofasina, and Idris Ackamoor, and *Duets|GoldenGateBridge*, a piece featuring the vibrations of the Golden Gate Bridge.\n*Fantastic Thoughts*, which can be seen as the culmination of this exploration, is a work that fully unleashes the creativity and imagination that lie dormant within us.
