Thundercat on the ‘Distracted’ Album, ‘Star Trek’ & Musical Nerd Heaven | Double J Interview
In a wide-ranging Double J interview, Thundercat describes his life as nonstop music-making and his refusal to separate personal and collaborative projects while discussing his new album Distracted. He explains the three-year gap between the Kevin Parker-led single “No More Lies” and the album as part of a patient creative process, and recounts working late-night on others’ records. The conversation highlights his chemistry with Kevin Parker, a roster of guest features including Willow, Channel Tres, The Lemon Twigs, Danny Brown, Flying Lotus and the late Mac Miller—whose drum part sparked “She Knows Too Much”—and Thundercat’s habit of treating every project as if it were his own. He frames the album as the product of iterative, timeless craft rather than a strict schedule.
