Today’s catch comes from the wonderful combo of Stephen Bruner & Kevin Parker…or better known as Thundercat & Tame Impala. They have joined forces and released a brand new single called “No More Lies“. Coincidentally, they are two of the hottest musicians in the business right now and both are featured vocalist on 2 songs from Gorillaz’ latest album Cracker Island…”Cracker Island (ft. Thundercat)” & “New Gold (ft. Tame Impala and Bootie Brown)“. Their melodic synchronicity belies this love lament, with Thundercat musing on a doomed relationship for which he takes responsibility: “But it’s not your fault, I’m just kind of ass”. The song culminates in a candid monologue from the bassist questioning the sense of honesty being the best policy in relationships: “I tell you the truth because I care, but I also lie to you because I care.”
“I’ve wanted to work with Kevin since the very first Tame Impala album,” shares Thundercat. “I feel that I knew that us working together would be special. I’ve been excited about this song for a long time and hope to create more with Kevin in the future.”
Thundercat is just finishing up his tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but will be back in Austin at Stubb’s on 10/24. You can watch the video for today’s amazing catch “No More Lies” by Thundercat & Tame Impala in the YouTube player below. Good things!
