Thundercat celebrates the 10th anniversary of his debut album “The Golden Age of Apocalypse” with an incredible deluxe vinyl edition.
Brainfeeder, the LA-based record label founded by Flying Lotus, salutes the 10th anniversary of Thundercat’s mercurial debut album from 2011 – “The Golden Age of Apocalypse” – with a luxurious deluxe vinyl edition comprising a translucent red LP housed in a beautiful shiny gold mirriboard sleeve with a large Thundercat logo hologram sticker and gold rainbow holofoil detail. The tracklisting includes two bonus tracks: ‘$200 TB’ and ‘Daylight (Reprise)’.
“The Golden Age of Apocalypse” wasn’t simply the record that introduced Stephen Bruner as an unrivalled talent and creative force to the world in 2011. It also represented the genesis of a close-knit, localised movement that won global recognition. Executively produced by Thundercat’s longtime musical partner Flying Lotus, the album features an insanely talented crop of young Los Angelians and kindred spirits. Among them, fellow Young Jazz Giants: Kamasi Washington, Cameron Graves and Ronald Bruner Jr, the quartet with whom Thundercat cut his teeth; the brilliant pianist Austin Peralta (who tragically passed away in 2012), Brandon Coleman, Taylor Graves, Hadrien Féraud and Oliver Johnson (Dorian Concept). Serving as a catalyst, the release of “The Golden Age of Apocalypse” inspired and galvanized Bruner’s peers to release their own albums, perhaps most notably Kamasi Washington’s “The Epic” (2015), the record that re-focused worldwide attention on the sheer wealth of jazz talent in LA.
