hmmm, dunno, but I quite like this guy's meandering bass style. A lot of it reminds me of Insignificance-ear Jim O'Rourke.

I think it's great, though there's nothing on the new album as wonderful as Tron Song

New one took a few spins to really click, but I'm totally digging it now. "Dragonball Durag" is great!

Ok what the fuck, this guy was in SUICIDAL TENDENCIES for 9 YEARS and no one ever talks about it

I wrote a Wire cover story on him a couple of months ago and believe you me, we talked about that.

awesome I will track that down. it seems weird it doesn't come up more for how much press he gets

I swear I've heard him talk about it on a podcast, but I can't remember which. It could have been Hannibal Buress' pod, although that usually wasn't very interview-y?

I feel like every time I talk about him someone is like "did you KNOW he was in Suicidal Tendencies?"

I love him. It Is What It Is was great, but Drunk's a true masterpiece.

i love him, but on first listen, thought drunk was tamer than the earlier stuff. but thats just a first impression. nice that hes got a wider audience. saw him play live once, supporting flying lotus, and he was a 100 times better than fly lo, mainly as he brought a band and played the shit out of his bass, while fly lo seemed to just be miming along to his ableton set up with some okay-ish projections.

Drunk is amazing

that is what my friend shared with me and tbh i still can't believe how good it is.
― John Cooper of Christian rock band Skillet (map), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 17:58 (three years ago) link
i never gave flying lotus a chance, maybe i should. i also like kaytranada, if that's even relevant like at all.

thundercat is on a lot of fly lo's stuff. fly lo is often 'brilliant' but thundercat is more pleasurable to listen to.

I loved the last thundercat album but havenβt heard anything else. ecstatic fusion-tactic
― brimstead, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 20:27 (three years ago) link
The drummer he had on the Drunk tour was astonishing, like properly jaw-droppingly brilliant. Wish they'd cut a live album - their version of Tron Song was genuinely further evolved than the studio take.

FlyLo is literally at the intersection between Kaytranada and Thundercat, musically

found a used copy of Drunk which I figured I had to pick up just because the format is so neat. yes it's annoying to have to change sides every 6 minutes but I kind of appreciate the dedication to making something so obnoxiously unique. anyway the music is very good but I think I prefer whiny and sometimes gross lyrics about women than I do lyrics about Goku

Didn't see this coming, but good for him, I guess? At least the commercial retains some of the goofiness of his videos.
