The US artist’s fifth studio LP comprises 15 tracks and includes contributions from A$AP Rocky, Tame Impala, Mac Miller, Willow, Channel Tres and Lil Yachty. Flying Lotus, Kenny Beats and The Lemon Twigs also provide additional production touches across the record.

Speaking about what he wanted listeners to take from Distracted, Thundercat said in a statement: “Just enjoy it and have fun and just know that the struggle is real and changes shape, but just to keep pushing forward.”

To mark the announcement of the album, he’s shared lead track ‘I Did This To Myself’, which features Lil Yachty and co-production from Flying Lotus. Listen to the song below.

Brainfeeder will release Distracted on 3 April 2026.
