Rat Fancy has been played on NTS in shows including Yesterday's News, featured first on 26 August 2020. Songs played include Never Is Forever.

Rat Fancy unleashes nineties nostalgia and youthful abandon with their debut LP Stay Cool, to be released on HHBTM Records on June 7, 2019. Formed in late 2016 by Diana Barraza (vocals/lyrics/guitar) and Gregory Johnson (guitar/bass/drums/keys), the duo evolved their sound from shimmering lo-fi pop to heavy power pop.

Recorded by David Newton of eighties indie pioneers The Mighty Lemon Drops, Stay Cool is unapologetic with themes touching on bad tattoos (“Stuck With You”) to immigration (“Must Be Nice”). From fuzzed out punk-pop (“Making Trouble”) to floor-shaking low end (“Never Is Forever”), Rat Fancy has never shown more compositional complexity and stylistic emotion than now. Today, Rat Fancy is Barraza, Johnson, with friends Matt Sturgis (drums) and Dan Fernandez (bass).
