Indie Exclusive on Clear/Black Marbled Smoke Effect Vinyl

It’s been six years since Thundercat released his previous LP, the 2020 Grammy-winning record It Is What It Is. His 2026 release, Distracted, was primarily created in close collaboration with a new creative partner for Thundercat — the super producer Greg Kurstin, known for his work with some of the biggest names in pop (Adele, Paul McCartney, Sia, Beyoncé, Beck). The record features 15 tracks and a host of exciting collaborators, including Mac Miller, A$AP Rocky, Willow Smith, Tame Impala, Channel Tres, along with production from Thundercat & Greg Kurstin, Flying Lotus, Kenny Beats & more.

Over the past six years, Thundercat’s been a very busy man. Beyond releasing two new tracks this past September (“I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time” & “Children of the Baked Potato” (feat. Remi Wolf), Thundercat has collaborated with Tame Impala, Silk Sonic, Gorillaz, Justice & Yo Gabba Gabba; played bass with the Spinal Tap guys on Kimmel; won a Grammy for Best Progressive R&B Album; has gone viral no less than five times on TikTok; his hit records “Funny Thing” and “Them Changes” went Platinum; toured arenas with the Red Hot Chili Peppers; and, oh yeah, made his acting debut in the Star Wars universe in The Book of Boba Fett.
