Thundercat & Tame Impala Team Up For “No More Lies”

Thundercat is easily one of the best bassists in the entire world. Overall, he has shown that time and time again with his recent albums. His style is so fun to watch and the sounds he makes are truly special. Although, a lot of his work goes under the radar as he is constantly helping compose for other artists. Regardless, Thundercat is an incredible musician whose talent should be commended. Unfortunately, it has been three years since he has released any music. Thankfully, that streak ended today.

Just moments ago, Thundercat unleashed a brand-new track that features the likes of Tame Impala. Subsequently, fans are speculating that an album could be on the horizon. However, Thundercat has yet to make that clear on his end. Either way, Tame Impala is an amazing psychedelic rock group that has dominated in their space. Now, working with Thundercat, they have helped develop the new single “No More Lies.”

Thundercat & Tame Impala Are A Dream Team

Overall, this song is a psychedelic twist on soulful music, which is what you would want from a collaboration like this. Firstly, the basslines really stick out here as Thundercat sounds amazing, as per usual. Secondly, the shimmering guitars and reverbed drums fit nicely as the bassist delivers those signature vocals. Kevin Parker of Tame Impala offers his voice to the track as well, and the two have great chemistry.

Whether or not a full-on collaborative album is on the horizon, still remains to be seen. However, there is no doubt that this track is an exciting prospect for fans and the artists involved. Let us know what you think of this song, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

That’s just the way it works or you and I keep getting hurt
We’re gonna lose control of the wheel
So put your seatbelt on, I think we’re about to crash in a world of pain
There’s so much work to do, so much to unpack
But it’s not your fault, I’m just kind of ass

Tame Impala Joins Thundercat For The Dreamy New Collaboration ‘No More Lies’

Thundercat has been busy. Stephen Lee Bruner joined Gorillaz on stage during their Coachella sets alongside Bad Bunny, De La Soul, and Beck. He performed “Bad Habit” with Steve Lacy at this year’s Grammys. He’s going to be on tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Yet “No More Lies,” his new track with Tame Impala out today, is his first song in three years. It’s quite a strong comeback, shimmering with a radiant atmosphere and hypnotic vocals: “You and I both know it’s harder than it seems / Love is a two-way street / I’m letting go because the both of us don’t need to drive / Baby, it’s one at a time,” Thundercat sings. Kevin Parker’s voice adds another layer of serenity: “I’ll just be on my own / I’ll just be home alone / My troubles are my own,” he croons.

“I’ve wanted to work with Kevin since the very first Tame Impala album,” Thundercat shared about “No More Lies” in a statement. “I feel that I knew that us working together would be special. I’ve been excited about this song for a long time and hope to create more with Kevin in the future.”

The track ends with a conflicted monologue, ending with the unreal lines: “It just looks like I don’t care / Because my emotions have been sanded off / I live in LA, sweetie, what do you expect?”
