Album Review: Thundercat - Drunk

StarStarStarStar

"When you listen to Drunk you enter Thundercat's world."

More Thundercat Thundercat

Thundercat's latest is jam-packed full of dreamy Sunday come-down music.

The lo-fi, psychedelia-infused, lounge-funk opus adds to Stephen Bruner's resume as one of the most impressive bassists since Les Claypool. It clocks in at 23 short tracks, most of which are taut with Thundercat's tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. There are features from both Kendrick Lamar and Wiz Khalifa, who adapt their styles to the project. Ultimately, it's a candid dismissal of music conventions in a nod to creative expression; when you listen to Drunk you enter Thundercat's world.
