Black Marbled Smoke Effect Vinyl, Poster insert + designed by Neil Krug [w/ download card]. Thundercat fans rejoice! The longest album drought of his career is officially OVER. Distracted will be released on April 3, 2026 - 6 years to the day after release of his previous LP, the 2020 GRAMMY Award winning record It Is What It Is.

Distracted was primarily created in close collaboration with a new creative partner for Thundercat - the super producer Greg Kurstin, known for his work with some of the biggest names in pop like Adele, Paul McCartney, Sia, Beyoncé, Beck and more. The record features 15 tracks and a host of exciting collaborators including Mac Miller, A$AP Rocky, Willow Smith, Tame Impala, Channel Tres, and production from Thundercat & Greg Kurstin, Flying Lotus, Kenny Beats & more. Over the past six years, Thundercat's been a very busy man. Beyond releasing two new tracks this past September ("I Wish I Didn't Waste Your Time" & "Children of the Baked Potato (feat. Remi Wolf)", Thunder has collaborated with Tame Impala, Silk Sonic, Gorillaz, Justice & Yo Gabba Gabba, played bass with the Spinal Tap guys on Kimmel, won a GRAMMY Award for Best Progressive R&B Album at the 2020 GRAMMYs, has gone viral no less than 5 times on TikTok, his hit records "Funny Thing" & "Them Changes" went Platinum, toured arenas with The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and oh yeah, he made his acting debut in the Star Wars universe in The Book of Boba Fett.
