Listen: Thundercat - "Daylight"


Thunder - "Daylight"
It's been known for a short time that Flying Lotus-protege Thundercat (aka Stephen Bruner) was coming out with a debut LP produced, unsurprisingly, by FlyLo himself. A first small taste came in the form of a groovy cover of a George Duke song, "For Love I Come." An excellent song, to be sure, but with it being a cover, it wasn't exactly showing off Thundercat's ability to write a completely original tune. This is no longer the case, as a new song off the album was released today. "Daylight" cuts right down to the jib of Thundercat's retro-funk vibe. With the key lyric being "open your mind," it sounds like the record will have no shortage of psychedelic charms. This is one to look forward to. The Golden Age of Apocalypse (I am in love with that album title) comes out August 30th via Brainfeeder.
