#Thundercat them changes wiki cracked
Yeah, there was a Cracked article about why sometimes comedians are some of the saddest people on earth … A lot of the time for me, it comes out in jokes a lot. Your ability to cope and handle it … it’s within your hands and what you do spiritually that will allow you to deal with these things a little bit better. It’s a pretty dark, twisted reality we live in when it comes to certain things.
It’s like the truth being told in jest, or you laugh to keep from crying, these are the things that go along with these things. From an outside perspective, it was a view of a merry prankster going into a more emotionally conscious and downtempo phase which really hit me hard.Ī lot of joking stems from a very dark place a bit. I was thinking about that while I was watching a video with you and Flying Lotus called “Over/Under” and there’s a certain playful nature to a lot of your music, “Oh Sheit it’s X” and then, again, there was this emotional change. It’s possible that that’s been a thing that’s pushed along this really, really interesting emotional state behind the music: social issues, social matters, the economy, you know, your real life experience, your day to day reality, the part that you don’t talk about.
Everything from what people know like Austin Peralta dying to just genuinely seeing pure racism as a reality, or pure hatred more so than pure racism or intolerance. There’s levels of life that would effect a lot of the music. It’s definitely caused different emotions to come out in the music. It’s one of those things that’s art imitates life kind of thing. Well, I think the emotional content on the records that have been coming out is a derivative or like directly to what’s going on in society and the real world right now. Where did all this come from? Was it from Austin Peralta’s passing? I was wondering about that emotional shift. And Teeb’s last album, E S T A R A was really melancholy, and, obviously, your new record is really, really depressing at some points. Like Flying Lotus going from Cosmogramma to You’re Dead!.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Brainfeeder stuff over the last few years, but it feels like, in the last two or three years, some of the emotional direction of the albums has changed. We talked to Bruner and discussed the emotional shifts in his music, the strange numbness that accompanied the record, and laughing to stave off grief. Currently, he’s the go-to man for Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar, helping shape both 2014’s You’re Dead! and 2015’s To Pimp a Butterfly (respectively), but his solo work sheds an occasionally harsh light on problems in the macro and the micro. Thundercat, also known as Stephen Bruner, has had a weird, wild journey to his current place as a bass prodigy working with everyone from Erykah Badu to Suicidal Tendencies.
It, along with the rest of the record, reflects on strife and grief on a personal level and from a worldwide view. But, unlike his previous, more light-hearted songs, “Them Changes” has a deep emotional potency. It’s a brilliant, heartbreaking cut of funk and soul, filled with jittering bass and Thundercat’s signature crystal clear voice. At the core of Thundercat‘s newest release, The Beyond/Where the Giants Roam, is “Them Changes”.
