Long after the wave of psychedelic bands from the 60's and the revival of pysecdelica in the 90's, a band like no other came onto the scene. Tame Impala.
After the success of 'Lonerism' and 'Innerspeaker' their newest release 'Currents' is nothing but a masterpiece. But what did you expect from Tame Impala?
The album opens with Let It Happen one of the singles previously released before the album. It's repetitive lyrics simply withdraws the listener from the normal plain life they are in and into a magical, colourful journey lead by singer Kevin Parker, inticing you to simply "let it happen". Further into the album, the upbeat tune Disciples shows a different side to Tame Impala. Mixing their traditional psych sound with a more funky, faster paced beat, Disciples gives us a sampling of the new Tame Impala as they develop their sound and take aspects from different music genres. Followed by Cause I'm A Man, Tame Impala's choice of tracks show a range of sounds. Does Cause I'm A Man show the acceptence of transgender, the gender equality issues within society or just Kevin Parker leaving the listener to guess? We will never know. Ending with New Person, Same Old Mistakes. The song is infused with techno/psych sounds with a dark twist. Parker's heavenly vocals give an edge to the dark deep sound.
A faultless album showing the many efforts Tame Imapla have to revive the psych sounds with a modern day twist.
