Thundercat is set to go on a North American tour for the mini-album, The Beyond/Where the Giants Roam. Before, however, the singer/producer/bassist has released the video for LP track, “Them Changes.” The clip, directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada (Dave Sitek’s Maximum Balloon, Capital Cities), has samurai battling one another.

Estrada explained the narrative behind the video in a press release:

“Thundercat’s take on heartbreak is so atypical that I figured the video for the song should be anything but a classic relationship-gone-wrong story. Stories like athletes’ careers ending after injuries or artists losing their site [sic]/hearing/ability to perform; these concepts are truly heartbreaking. I also know that Thundercat has a thing for samurais — so I saw an opportunity to make everyone happy here. Or everyone sad, I guess.”
