Fantasy Empire is the sound of Lightning Bolt fully embracing their own peculiar genius, crafting a sound that is both pulverizing and paradoxically spacious. It's the duo at their most alien and their most focused.
- The album was recorded by the band themselves in their practice space in Central Falls, Rhode Island.
- It was the first Lightning Bolt album released on the Thrill Jockey label after years with Load Records.
- Pitchfork rated the album 8.4 and listed it as "Best New Music".
Lightning Bolt is a noise rock duo from Providence, Rhode Island, best known for their intense, often uncomfortably loud live performances and their unique, circuit-bent guitar effects. Fantasy Empire was their sixth studio album, arriving after a four-year gap since their previous release, and marked their first album for the Thrill Jockey label.
