A syrup-thick, slowed-down reimagining of Thundercat's jazz-funk odyssey. Murky basslines and pitch-shifted vocals create a psychedelic, nocturnal fever dream.

Listening to Drank is like experiencing Thundercat’s virtuosity through a thick, purple haze. By slowing down the frantic, often anxious energy of the original Drunk album, DJ Candlestick and OG Ron C have transformed a jazz-funk masterpiece into a lethargic, psychedelic meditation. The basslines, already liquid in their original form, become tectonic and heavy, vibrating at frequencies that feel felt rather than just heard. It is an album that demands you surrender your sense of time, as the familiar melodies are stretched and warped into something entirely new and ghostly.
