Thundercat announces ‘Drunk’

The truly outstanding Thundercat will release his third full-length studio album “Drunk” on 24th February 2017 via Brainfeeder.

“Drunk” is the follow up to his widely praised 2015 mini album “The Beyond / Where The Giants Roam”, and mind blowing 2013 “Apocalypse”, it is a 23-track epic journey finds a few of his friends joining him along the way including: Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell, Michael McDonald (Steely Dan/The Doobie Brothers), Kenny Loggins (Footloose / Top Gun), Wiz Khalifa, Kamasi Washington and Brainfeeder mastermind Flying Lotus.

The album title, like the rest of the album, is meant to be both humorous and serious. “I’ve always tried to hold true to what Erykah Badu and Flying Lotus told me: It has to come from an honest place. I feel like it’s a place that I’ve been in different ways, seen different angles of and it’s been a bit inspirational – the drinking. It has its ups and downs and everything, but I felt like it showed the human side of what goes on behind things, something that I see with all of my friends… I felt like it was kind of interweaved in the music culture. And it’s something that’s never talked about.”
