Thundercat – The Golden Age of Apocalypse (Vinyl LP, Brainfeeder, 2011) – Mint / Sealed

A forward-leaning debut that blends jazz harmony, funk bass lines and left-field R&B into a fluid, modern sound. Thundercat’s elastic bass playing and layered vocals give the album a loose, exploratory feel, shifting easily between groove and abstraction. It’s a distinctive, personal record that sets the foundation for his later work.

Vinyl LP Mint and Sealed.
