<p><i>Stephen Bruner aka <strong><a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=thundercat&_=pf&pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Thundercat" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Thundercat</a></strong></i>'s much-anticipated full-length debut on Brainfeeder is here! The LA bass virtuoso has teamed up once again with <strong><a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct&q=flying%20lotus&_=pf&pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Flying%20Lotus" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Flying Lotus</a></strong> (who takes producer credit on this piece) to bring the mutant jazz fusion revelation known as <em>The Golden Age Of Apocalypse</em> to your earhole. The album picks up where <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/products/flying-lotus-cosmogramma-with-free-mp3-download-2lp" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>Cosmogramma</em></a> left off, a lush and exploratory experience that bends the boundaries of jazz fusion, beats, and electronica, with an impressive cast of guests including <strong>Erykah Badu</strong>, members of <strong>Sa-Ra</strong> and <strong>J*DaVeY</strong>, pianist <strong>Austin Peralta</strong>, and Grammy-winning drummer <strong>Ronald Bruner</strong>, Jr. (aka Thundercat's brother!). Check the bright opener "Daylight," with its warm synths and snappy beats, the easy-going soul of "Walkin'," the loose and funky improv of "Jamboree," or the insane bass layering on "Fleer Ultra" for a taste. Other highlights include the <strong>George Duke</strong> cover "For Love I Came," and the cinematic closer "Return To The Journey."
