The Golden Age of Apocalypse

Description

A native of South Los Angeles, STEPHEN BRUNER, aka THUNDERCAT, is a Californian bass prodigy who started playing at the age of 4, thanks to his father RONALD SR, drummer for THE TEMPTATIONS. A member of the legendary thrash band SUICIDAL TENDENCIES since he was 16, he has contributed to albums by big names in hip hop, soul, and jazz, from SNOOP DOGG to STANLEY CLARKE and ERIC BENÉT. This protégé of FLYING LOTUS, for whom he played on "Cosmogramma" and who produced this album, unveils his first solo project, "The Golden Age Of Apocalypse." The album blends an astral universe with masterful craftsmanship, serving as a logical continuation of "Cosmogramma." An impressive array of artists accompanies THUNDERCAT on the album: from ERYKAH BADU to members of SA-RA and J*DAVEY, from pianist AUSTIN PERALTA to his brother and drummer RONALD BRUNER. The result is an album that perfectly reflects THUNDERCAT's music: a work combining traditional jazz, a futuristic electronic foundation, and the pursuit of timeless music. The apocalypse is indeed golden.
