Not Alone

Don't Let Me Down

Hello from Moldava – or rough said "the country that not officially exists": Transnistria! We welcome two guys that officially exist! And how! Giving their debut on JEAHMON!, the two space invaders are entering the aquarium with a big boom! "Space Yoda" is a track both for the floor and for the heart. Listening stuff and dancing stuff in one. Definitely an earworm with a special cinematic character. The more clubby version comes from our homie SNYL, who focused on the beat and bassline with his translation of the Original track. So here we go – a 2-tracker for every kind of mood: Dreaming, flying, loving, raving. From Tiraspol to the world? Ladies and gentlemen, please make some noise for ANMA!

No More Lies

In Motion

'Daydreaming,' the third and final single from our upcoming album, was inspired in part by films like Drive and Thief as well as some recurring characters in renowned science-fiction author William Gibson's 'Sprawl' and 'Bridge' trilogies, released in the 1980s and 1990s, respectively. The track itself pays homage to Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" era while still maintaining an overall retrowave theme.

Specifically, 'Daydreaming' speaks to the often unspoken tension and feelings that can build up between two individuals that find themselves spending a lot of time together but, for one reason or another, are unable to or incapable of being together in any real sense. Hence, the only place that the fantasy can reside is in dreams.

Le Départ

This track teaches in rhythm. Every beat, every lyric is a warning: to worship fear is to worship death. The groove is slow, steady, almost conversational, because this isn’t just a song, it’s a lesson carried on funk.

The lead voice explains with clarity: fear of the LORD of Hosts is not wisdom, it’s bondage. That LORD is not the Most High but the Most Low, the shadow god at the ends of the earth, the moon’s wrath, the eye of consuming darkness. To bow there is to worship death itself, to let yourself be swallowed by the black hole.

The backing singer's answer like a witness, underlining the truth. Together they break the illusion: fear doesn’t bring light, it buries you. Wisdom isn’t trembling, it’s knowing the light at the beginning of the earth, the GOD who is indestructible life.

The sound is soft but serious, smooth funk that lets the words breathe. No walls of sound, no choirs drowning the message. Just two voices and a groove, reminding you: worship fear and you follow wrath to the pit. Worship life and you rise with the Source that was before beginnings.

It’s not music for hype, it’s music for clarity. A funk gospel warning: don’t confuse the LORD of Hosts with the LORD of Life.

Fear of the LORD

What For?

It Might Be Time

Thundercat is a cornerstone of the Brainfeeder label having released “The Golden Age of Apocalypse” (2011), “Apocalypse” (2013), and “Drunk” (2017) which completed his transition from virtuoso bassist to bonafide star and cemented his reputation as a unique voice transcending genre. 

His 2020 album “It Is What It Is” won Best Progressive R&B Album at 63rd GRAMMY Awards and features musical contributions from his friends Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino, Lil B, Kamasi Washington, Steve Lacy, Steve Arrington, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole, Pedro Martins and Zack Fox. The record was produced by Thundercat and his longtime partner Flying Lotus who was GRAMMY-nominated in “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical” for his work on the album.

In 2019 Thundercat was invited by legendary jazz institution Blue Note in New York to play a 14 show residency over the space of 6 days. Special guests for the residency included Reggie Watts, Zack Fox and Hannibal Buress. Other live highlights for Bruner have included a duet with Ariana Grande at Adult Swim Festival 2020, a special drive-in show at the Rose Bowl in LA (2020), a US tour alongside his friend Anderson .Paak (2019), an appearance at the Nile Rodgers curated Meltdown Festival held at the Southbank Centre, London (2019); and previous festival highlights for Thundercat include Glastonbury, Coachella, Primavera Sound, Sónar, Fuji Rock, Newport Jazz Festival, Primavera Sound and Governors Ball. One memorable sold out show at New York’s Irving Plaza in 2017 featured Dave Chappelle making an impromptu appearance as his hype man.

Thundercat was “at the creative epicenter” of the 21st century’s most influential hip-hop album Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly”, and he won a GRAMMY for his collaboration on the track ‘These Walls’. In 2018 Thundercat and Flying Lotus composed an original score for an episode of Golden Globe and Emmy award winning TV series “Atlanta” (created and written by Donald Glover).

Bruner found his instrument at the age of 4. That made him a late-bloomer in the house of Ronald Bruner, Sr., who drummed with the Temptations among others. His first bass was a black Harmony, and he practiced to the Ninja Turtles soundtrack until pops played him Jaco Pastorius. He joined thrash legends Suicidal Tendencies as a teenager, and has spent road and studio time with everyone from Stanley Clarke and Herbie Hancock to Leon Ware, N.E.R.D., Travis Scott and Erykah Badu. Most recently he collaborated with HAIM on their track ‘3am’ (2021) and with Ty Dolla $ign on his 2020 album alongside Anderson .Paak and Kanye West on ‘Track 6’.

The name Thundercat is a reference to the cartoon he’s loved since childhood and an extension of his wide-eyed, vibrant, often superhuman approach to his craft. In 2020 things came full circle when Bruner voiced a character (and penned a song) named "Grune the Destroyer" in Cartoon Network’s Thundercats Roar animated series.
