15 Dec Thundercat – The Golden Age of Apocalypse | Album Review

In the '80s kids were fascinated by the cartoon ThunderCats, produced by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass, which was based around the group of cat-like humanoid aliens. Of those fascinated kids stood bassist/vocalist Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner, who uses the cartoon series as a namesake.  Thundercat made a following for himself as the bassist for Suicidal Tendencies, Sa-Ra Creative Partners and Erykah Badu, as well as his work with producer Flying Lotus - notably “MmmHmm,” on Lotus’ 2010 LP Cosmogramma - who also produced this entire project. With his debut album, The Golden Age of Apocalypse released this past August via Brainfeeder records, Thundercat is sure to fit into any music lover’s top albums of the year.
