109. Tame Impala – Currents
Manage episode 419430540 series 3245637
The casual music fan may not immediately recognize the name Kevin Parker. But say "Tame Impala," and it's a different story. Sure, there have been band "members" (ie., collaborators) in Tame Impala, but the band is really all Parker's creation and doing. And nowhere is that more evident than on 2015's "Currents" album. Parker holed up in his Fremantle, Australia, home (taking some breaks to swim in the ocean) to record, mix and perfect the album. The result is a more dance-heavy take on Parker songs (especially compared to previous Tame Impala joints), and an album also heavy on the breakup theme. But don't think it's a downer; the album has hooks and flourishes and so much dance-ability – especially on the 8-minute-long lead track "Let It Happen," as well as on "The Moment," "The Less Know the Better" and the oh-too-short "Disciples." Parker was influenced by cocaine and mushrooms for "Currents" --and it shows. The album is trippy and funky. In other words, it's Tame Impala.
