IT IS WHAT IT IS - THUNDERCAT

Thundercat’s new record is a navel-gaze vocal-funk jazz triump.

Some of these songs like “Dragonball Durag” have nerdculture if not nerdcore influence – the benign dudeliness that emanates off of Thundercat is strong. I could do without the guest appearances but they’re good.

The production is here, the execution is great, the melodies are nice and you just gotta love the weirdness this guy embraces.
