On what is effectively an MTV Unplugged of the self-titled album, Cedric and Omar beautifully strip-back and overhaul its songs to work in a softer acoustic setting, with most for me being on par if not an improvement on their originals. I think the effect is best seen on some of the S/T's more energetic songs like 'Graveyard Love', which feel completely different. Also, shoutout to 'Palm Full Of Crux' too; it's even more intimate and sorrowful now.
Favorite track: Palm Full Of Crux (acoustic). Xtra Happy
saw Thundercat for the first time recently - truly a GOAT of live performers. this album is him in his most honest, focused, and emotional state, and it beautifully intertwines his silly artistic voice with his stories of struggle and loss. the album is short and sweet - BUT, if you want to see him and his friends jam a little longer on these ideas, definitely see him live. the dude literally practices like Coltrane and it shows. zilla
