More people need to get on that Thundercat tip.Stphen Bruner is part of the West Coast collective that vibes with Flying Lotus and leans on a jazzy edge usually indicative of East Coast attributes. Thundercat dropped this year’s “The Beyond Where the Giants Roam;” an album that by all accounts should be blowing up everywhere. Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seemingly makes an appearance in the dark video for “Them Changes,” disguised as Thundercat brandishing a Hattori Hanzo samurai sword. Look for the multi instrumentalist to hit the road starting at the beginning of August in support of the new album at intimate venues across the land.
