Thundercat has announced a tour in support of his great LP Apocalypse, which will take him across North America starting in November. Check out the dates below.

He's also shared a new song, and although the chords and melodies share similarities with Thundercat's more traditional material, this one sounds like it could've been in an SNES game. And for good reason: it's called "Bowzer's Ballad", and it's dedicated to the late Nintendo boss Hiroshi Yamauchi, who died on September 19. (It's named after the villain of the "Mario" games.) The track was written with Ruslan Sirota.

Check out Ryan Dombal's "Situation Critical" interview with Thundercat. Thundercat will also appear tonight on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon", sitting in with the Roots.
