Ten years after its initial release, Thundercat’s seminal album “Apocalypse” returns in a special vinyl reissue, celebrating a decade of sonic brilliance. Helmed by bassist, vocalist, and songwriter Stephen Bruner, known professionally as Thundercat, the album marks a significant step forward in his solo career.
Co-produced and co-written with luminaries Flying Lotus and Mono/Poly, “Apocalypse” showcases Thundercat’s ability to blend genres seamlessly, creating a sound that is uniquely his own. The album’s creation was deeply influenced by personal loss, particularly the death of friend and Flying Lotus band member Austin Peralta. Tracks like “Tron Song” resonate with heartfelt emotion, with Bruner’s tender vocals tugging at the heartstrings.
Despite its melancholic undertones, “Apocalypse” is a testament to Thundercat’s musical versatility and creativity. Tracks such as “Special Stage” and “Heartbreaks + Setbacks” exude vibrant R&B energy, while “Oh Sheit It’s X” is a joyous celebration of life.
With “Apocalypse,” Thundercat delivers a record that traverses the highs and lows of human experience, solidifying his place as one of the greats in contemporary music. This vinyl reissue offers fans the opportunity to revisit and rediscover the album’s timeless beauty, reaffirming its status as a classic in Thundercat’s illustrious career.
