Featured artist of the week for 7/27/15:
Tame Impala – Currents (LP)
Released : July 15, 2015
Label: Interscope Records
All Songs written and recorded at Kevin Parker’s home studio.
Continuing the heavy wordy introspection, Tame Impala’s recent release Currents, delves further into serious personal insight as Kevin Parker refines his skill-set as arranger, producer, songwriter, and vocalist. It is a mute point to question if this addition to his oeuvre is better or worse than the previous two LPs. Simply put, Currents has it’s eyes on new depths.
At the Tame Impala site, Currents is described as “a soundtrack to life’s turbulent flow”. The seguing compositions are certainly more labyrinthine touching upon anguish, acidity, and heartbreak. Not always happy, the delivery is fulfilling nevertheless. So if a complex meditative tonality dotted with experimental lyrics piques your interest, we certainly believe Parker’s new release worth a listen.
