If you\u2019ve been wondering where Thundercat \u2014 aka the \u201cgoth hoochie daddy,\u201d according to his Instagram \u2014 has been for the past six years, well, the best way to describe it is Distracted. Luckily, he made a soundtrack out of it with the same name.<\/p>\n

The album brings Stephen Bruner\u2019s wonderfully scattered brain<\/a> \u2014 and the bass playing that made him one of modern funk\u2019s most recognizable low-end weirdos \u2014 into another warped jazz-funk playground that wants desperately to stay present in a life that struggles to close the 50 open tabs that come with making art. Among them are features from Tame Impala, A$AP Rocky, and a previously unheard collaboration with his late friend Mac Miller that finally found a home on the record.<\/p>\n

And if focus still isn\u2019t in the cards, at least he\u2019s committing to the bit with the Distracted AF tour. Consider Thundercat your scheduled distraction when he hits The Plaza Live on Oct. 4.<\/p>\n

8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4, The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., theplazaliveorlando.org<\/a>, $58-$81.<\/p>\n
