![]() ![]() Anyway, it’s an epic end to an epic hour-long journey through sound and space, and listening to it is the only date you should be planning this Friday, February 14. ![]() It’s the kind of song that’d sound cheesy if literally any other artist in the world recorded it, but somehow, Tame Impala make it cool. ‘Whatever I’ve done, I did it for love, I did for fun…’, Kev sings on album closer, ‘One More Hour’, a stadium rock style anthem that Queen’d be proud of. Kev’s love of hip hop is loud and clear on this record-but so too is his adoration of funk, soul, rock, pop, psych, and just about every other genre you can whack a label on and sell as jam. It’s also obvious that he’s learnt a lot from collaborating with other artists like A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott and Mark Ronson over the last few years. No one would expect less from the best in the biz. Obviously, the production on the entire record is insane. Layered vocal effects aside, dude can actually sing. It’s also clear throughout The Slow Rush that Parker has invested a lot of time mastering one instrument in particular, and that’s his own voice. On ‘Posthumous Forgiveness’, he sings to his dad (who passed away in 2009), ‘Wanna tell you about the time I was in Abbey Road / Or the time that I had Mick Jagger on the phone / I thought of you when he spoke’, and the words feel strangely human for a Tame Impala track. It’s just another leap forward in Parker’s endless sound evolution.Īn ode to the magic and mundanity of time and its slow and speedy passing, The Slow Rush feels markedly more intimate and personal than anything Parker’s ever put his name on. OG fans fear not, though, because at its core, The Slow Rush still sounds like a Tame Impala record. Sure, I’m also convinced I’m on a speedboat somewhere in the Mediterranean with a cool version of U2, but it’s impossible not to be impressed by this slick new pop-infused sound. Anyway, straight off the bat, one thing’s clear-psych rock is out, and Euro disco is IN.īy the end of the first song, I’m already convinced this record is better than Currents. Kicking off with a glitchy cyborg vocal before exploding into a bonafide dancefloor classic, it’s kind of like the gateway drug to the rest of the record. Of the remaining eight unheard new songs, album opener ‘One More Year’ is, to me, the absolute standout of the entire album. ![]() Surprisingly, last year’s huge single ‘Patience’ has been left off the tracklist, but honestly, you don’t even miss it. Of those 12 tracks, you’ll recognise four-‘Borderline’, ‘Posthumous Forgiveness’, ‘Lost in Yesterday’ and ‘It Might Be Time’. You’ll find 12 tracks on the new record, spanning a run time of around 57 minutes. This album absolutely bangs.įirst, some general admin. I felt more nervous pressing play on this puppy than I did when I reversed through a major intersection at the beginning of my driver’s test. Honestly, I don’t know how Kev handles all the pressure. Regardless of who did what when, ever since news of its existence surfaced, every woman and their cat has been anxiously pondering what The Slow Rush will sound like and if it’ll live up to the hype.
