Thundercat Shares Animated “Song for the Dead” Video: Watch

One year ago today, Thundercat released his mini-album The Beyond / Where the Giants Roam. To mark the anniversary, he’s shared the video for “Song for the Dead.” Animated by Ry No, it finds a cartoon Thundercat playing music and traversing the universe to cope with the loss of his pet wolf. Watch it below, via Adult Swim.
