MP3: Thundercat: "Daylight"
The bass-playing Los Angeles native Stephen Bruner, who records as Thundercat, has had a truly varied career. He's done session and tour work for people like Snoop Dogg and Eric Benet, he's been a member of a boy band that scored a hit in Germany, and he's played with mookish hardcore legends Suicidal Tendencies. (Actually, he's still a member of Suicidal Tendencies.) Last year, Thundercat contributed to Cosmogramma, the spaced-out bass music masterwork from Flying Lotus. And on August 30, FlyLo's Brainfeeder label will release Thundercat's solo album The Golden Age of Apocalypse-- produced entirely by FlyLo.
Erykah Badu contributes to the album, as do members of SA-RA Creative Partners and J*Davey, pianist Austin Peralta, and Thundercat's drummer brother Ronald Bruner, Jr. One of the album's tracks, a cover of George Duke's "For Love I Come", recently ended up in our Best New Tracks section. Another, "Daylight", is above. We've got the album's tracklist below. And Thundercat also has a few shows coming up with FlyLo, so we've got those listed out as well.
The Golden Age of Apocalypse:
01 HooooooO 02 Daylight 03 Fleer Ultra 04 Is It Love? 05 For Love I Come 06 It Really Doesn't Matter to You 07 Jamboree 08 Boat Cruise 09 Seasons 10 Goldenboy 11 Walkin' 12 Mystery Machine (The Golden Age of Apocalypse) 13 Return to the Journey
Thundercat:
06-20 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom * 06-22 Brooklyn, NY - Music Hall Of Williamsburg * 06-23 Los Angeles, CA - The Music Box * 06-24 San Francisco, CA - 103 Harriet *
* with Flying Lotus

2559633, RE: well we got a release date woohoo Posted by G_The_SP, Mon Jun-13-11 02:32 PM
I'm catching this talented trio (Flying Lotus, Thundercat, and Austin Peralta) at the Hollywood show. Looking forward to it.

Show was SO SICK! 420 hash brownie had me in outer space with all that psychotic bass that just went right through the body. Amazing show. Despite that douchebag blocking the way every 10 minutes taking pictures and the stupid drunk short girl up in the from cutting in front of people every 10 minutes, it was one of the best concerts I've attended in my life, thus far.
Plus I got to meet FlyLo and Thundercat! I'm still in excited mode as you can probably tell.

2560151, i take it he's a singer? Posted by justin_scott, Tue Jun-14-11 11:58 AM

|
2560387, nope he's a bassist Posted by chinyre, Tue Jun-14-11 07:31 PM
plays for suicidal tendencies, erykah badu, sa-ra
|
2560388, uhhhh, he sings as well. Posted by Ghetto Black, Tue Jun-14-11 07:35 PM
have you not listened to the leaks?
|
2560390, sure ive heard the leaks Posted by chinyre, Tue Jun-14-11 07:47 PM
i would put him under bassist who sings because thats his primary instrument. but thats just me though.its not important as long as the music is dope.
|
2560392, btw, it won't be better than dimlite's grimm reality. Posted by Ghetto Black, Tue Jun-14-11 08:05 PM

2572647, Damn, the scene release leaked quite early. Posted by Ghetto Black, Wed Jul-13-11 10:10 PM
I'm not sure if i can hold out... :(
|
2572651, what's this now? any details.. album/song titles to point me in Posted by DonWonJusuton, Wed Jul-13-11 10:21 PM

2572657, RE: Prediction: Album event of the year Thundercat debut album Posted by Mr. Merge, Wed Jul-13-11 10:43 PM
It's honestly been such a standout year for music I forgot about this guy. But,YES!!
|
2575146, i love this album Posted by GumDrops, Wed Jul-20-11 10:01 AM
it sounds like demos though
weirdly i get hints of ariel pink listening to the album
it sounds quite 80s influenced to me
|
2575150, Very disappointing... Posted by 201cue, Wed Jul-20-11 10:14 AM
Sounds like a bunch of studio noodling. No thanks.
|
2575210, RE: Prediction: Album event of the year Thundercat debut album Posted by stone_phalanges, Wed Jul-20-11 11:45 AM
I didn't like it much. wish it wasn't hyped up so much.
|
2577403, i love this album but is he to george duke what donnie was to stevie? Posted by GumDrops, Mon Jul-25-11 01:07 PM
kinda ruins it a bit.
|
2577507, This is why I still Fcuks with OKP!!!! Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Jul-25-11 03:53 PM
Not the silly debates in GP, but because every so often this site puts me on to new music that I might not otherwise have come across. this is dope. Thanks.
Edit Update: BTW, I had skipped previous Thundercat posts and references to him because I thought everyone was referring to the LA producer Battlecat.

|
2577519, I am loving this Posted by Episode, Mon Jul-25-11 04:14 PM
I felt the same as some of the posters above at first thinking it was all too similar, too much overplaying. But damn now I can't stop playing it. Definitely one that gets better with each spin. Although it wasn't what I expected at all, I was expecting more jazz-influenced things along the line of Mmmhmm and For Love I Come but it plays more like a more experimental Dam-Funk. One of the albums of the year for sure.

2577540, really looking forward to it. Posted by woe.is.me., Mon Jul-25-11 04:52 PM

probably the best lp for me but it was nice to enjoy a chilled out listening event of an lp rather than a cd with 4 out of 12 good tracks

2700628, I've been listening to 'Is It Love?' on a loop for an hour now. Posted by Ghetto Black, Fri May-18-12 11:31 PM
It holds up along with 'For Love I Come'.
The album should've been better, though.
While the Grimm Reality wasn't as good as I anticipated, it has an edge on this album.
Btw, we won't let this post fade into obscurity.
