Minimalist｜ Other Products ｜Thundercat: Apocalypse - 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

"Thundercat releases a very special deluxe edition of his album Apocalypse celebrating ten years since its original release in 2013. The new edition features special rainbow holographic artwork housed inside a transparent PVC outer sleeve with holographic skull print. Additionally there are two previously unreleased tracks: ‘Before I loved myself I pooped my ankles (true)’ (with Austin Peralta and Taylor Graves) and ‘Paris’ (with Mono/Poly)." - Brainfeeder
Sophomore full length from Thundercat on Brainfeeder. Apocalypse follows 2011's Golden Age Of Apocalypse and finds bassist/songwriter Stephen Bruner (aka Thundercat) blurring genre lines between jazz, funk, pop, and rock, while further exploring his own vocal capabilities as a singer. His undeniable bass skills (he's played bass for everyone from Fly Lo, Erykah Badu, Snoop, RHCP, Suicidal Tendencies, etc.) are still the foundation on most of the tracks, but now his own vocals are in the spotlight - a somewhat surprising move considering the last album was more instrumental, but Thundercat pulls it off with style to spare. Check the sounds on the deep opener "Tenfold," the addictive vox on "Heartbreaks + Setbacks," and "Special Stage," the heavy beat bounce on "Tron Song," and the anthemic funk on "Oh Shiet it's X." Definitely an impressive piece of work, worthy of repeat listens. Recommended.
