Thundercat has a hell of a resume. He shredded the electric bass on almost every track on
Flying Lotus' recent opus
Cosmogramma (even
singing on one), as well as joining Mr. Ellison onstage at Low End Theory
that one time; he's even jammed on a few
Erykah Badu albums...and now he's got a solo record,
The Golden Age of Apocalypse, coming out via FlyLo's
Brainfeeder label, which the soaring flower himself had a hand in producing.
And you can listen to the whole thing below for free. I suggest you do so, this is some genre-bending shit: jazzy, funky, electrified, and soaring far into the future at speeds faster than light itself...
Make sure to cop this album when it drops on August 30th – as a lover of both old-school jazz and all the Brainfeeder/Low End electronic-future-beat-shit, I can safely say that this is shaping up to be a game-changer.
