"Near Fantastica" comes from Avalanche, the 2003 solo debut that took Canadian singer-songwriter Matthew Good away from the sound of the Matthew Good Band, and it was one of three singles from it, alongside "Weapon" and "In a World Called Catastrophe". It only ever went to radio, and in a much shorter edit at that, so the album take is the full story.
Good wrote it, sings it and plays guitar, piano and keyboards, with Rich Priske on bass and extra keys and Pat Steward on drums, Steward and Good sharing the percussion. Warne Livesey, who had already worked with Good on Beautiful Midnight, produced and engineered, and his work on Avalanche earned him a Juno nomination.
