Thundercat: Soulful Space-Age Bass (From the Archives)


Listen Later

Thundercat is Stephen Bruner - an electric bassist and vocalist who racked up some serious cred through his session work and touring with Erykah Badu and Snoop Dogg. Since that time, he's parlayed that success into his own solo career; after impressing Flying Lotus while playing on his 2010 album Cosmogramma, the esteemed producer ended up working on the entirety on Thundercat's 2011 debut, The Golden Age of Apocalypse

Fast-forward to spring of 2020, when Thundercat released It Is What It Is, another meditation on personal loss, just like that of his 2013 album called Apocalypse. We revisit that 2013 session for this podcast from the archives. 

Set List: 

    "Tron Song"
    "Evangelion" 
    "Heartbreaks and Setbacks"
