[Video] Thundercat: “Evangelion”/”We’ll Die”

Thundercat, aside from having one of the best names in music today, has established himself over the past few years as one of the pre-eminent bass players in the game today. Today, the artist legally known as Stephen Bruner dropped a visual that straddles a pair of singles off his critically-acclaimed 2013 release, Apocalypse. Teaming up with Myspace, Thundercat spends the "Evangelion" portion of the video wandering across a debris-laden field before settling down to perform "We'll Die" on a pier. Thundercat is the go-to for creative basslines, having worked with the likes of Vic Mensa, Flying Lotus and Mac Miller, among others. Expect to see plenty more from him both individually and featured on your favorite artist's projects. Watch "Evangelion/We'll Die," streaming here below.
