Description
Limited double vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release, the highly anticipated third full length album from the much loved Australian band. Currents is the follow up to 2012's Lonerism. Kevin Parker, the musician behind Tame Impala, explained that Currents is about the process of personal transformation. He said, "It follows the progression of someone feeling like they are becoming something else. They're becoming the kind of person they thought they'd never become." The cover art for Currents was created by Kentucky-based artist and musician Robert Beatty. Parker has said Currents' designs are based on a diagram of vortex shedding he remembered while trying to visualize the album's themes. Includes the single 'Let It Happen'.

Okay, so I've listened to Tame Impala's excellent new album Currents several times now. Like everyday, twice a day, since last Friday. I can say very confidently that it's a masterpiece. Kevin Parker has finally decided he no longer has to make albums that sound like they're being performed by a crusty crew of long-haired, bearded psych dudes jammin' on a weed and lager high. He's succumbed to the idea -or realization- that he himself is just as much a producer as he is a singer in a rock band. Since the beginning he's recorded Tame Impala records by himself, with the same old equipment, with the same idea in mind which is writing great, catchy pop songs. But he did so in a way where those songs could still be looked at as a band and not just Kevin Parker. Currents marks the point in Mr. Parker's musical career where he gave in to the idea that he's an amazing studio svengali that can manipulate sound and instrument into something that's both retro and futuristic. He needn't worry about creating the illusion of a "band" jammin'. Working with Mark Ronson must've given him the push he needed to fully commit to his studio and songwriting prowess. Sure, a broken heart always helps things along, too. This is his skewered pop epic. Currents is a classic pop record. A classic rock record. It's just a classic. The songs? "Let It Happen" is a nearly 8 minute kinetic, anxiety-soaked, dance track that pulsates urgency and the vibe of "when it happens, let it happen." There seems to be a million things happening in this song, yet it never feels overindulgent. It seems to encapsulate everything about Tame Impala that I've grown to love about them(or him.) "The Moment" could be a b-side from Thriller. I could so completely hear Michael Jackson singing this great track. All the studio trickery with delays, echoes, and ethereal synths are here, but Parker's voice is much more in the center and pulled up for us to hear. It's a much more clear-eyed approach to a Tame Impala tune that we haven't heard before. "Yes I'm Changing" is pretty much an all out ballad. A song about coming to grips with the idea we don't always stay the same. People grow apart and that's that. Parker has tinkered with sentiment before, but here he's embracing it completely. "Eventually" has an "It Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" vibe to it, if you threw in some 80s Genesis on top and coated it with some powdered sugar. One of my absolute favorite tracks is the sublime "The Less I Know The Better". For me, this song epitomizes a childhood of sitting in the backseat of my mom and dad's 1984 Honda Accord and those rides being soundtracked by early 80s FM radio. The electric piano, the wurlitzer, the disco-lite beat, and the falsetto are throwbacks to a time in pop music that is looked back upon as cheesy and processed; yet Parker seems to make it relevant and poignant. This song is about as perfect a pop track as they come. "Disciples" comes in and out of the speakers in less than 2 minutes but it's classic a classic psych rock guitar track. "Cause I'm A Man" is a skewed slow jam. THC-fueled R&B. "Reality In Motion" sounds like something Parker may have penned for Melody Prochet but decided to keep it for himself. "New Person, Same Old Mistakes" feels like a mantra put to stark pop bliss. It's slow, loping drum beat and intricately placed musical easter eggs make for some great headphone listening. Currents does something quite fantastical in that it takes the uncool and makes it cool again. Those cheesy electric piano sounds you heard in Richard Marx songs in the mid-80s? Well they're not cheesy anymore. Kevin Parker takes the uncool and makes it vital. Currents is a pop record from another dimension. A dimension where Kevin Parker co-wrote "Billie Jean" with Michael Jackson and smoked up with Alan Parsons. It's one of the best records of the year.

“It arrived in excellent condition — you can clearly tell it’s original and fully sealed, which I really appreciated. The packaging was great and protected the album perfectly. As for the record itself, it sounds amazing. If you’re a Tame Impala fan, this is definitely a must-have for your collection. The quality is great, the presentation is beautiful, and overall it exceeded my expectations. I’m really happy with this purchase and would totally recommend it.

This has quickly become one of my favourite albums of this year and represents a major change in direction from the last two albums. There is more a groove to this album than even "Innerspeaker" and the guitars have either been removed or treated so much that one of Kevin's trademarks has all but disappeared. If you have been following Kevin over the last year, this really isn't much of a surprise. Consider his "Like a Version" cover of Andre 3000's "Prototype" and his work with Mark Ronson and they are very much in line with "Currents". "Cause I'm a Man" (a real highlight on the album) has been cut from the same cloth as "Prototype" and "Daffodils". Another huge change is he did not use Dave Friedman on this album. Gone is the distortion and Lo-Fi sound, replaced by a much more cleaner sound. Some of the songs may appear to be simple in structure, but closer listening reveals a lot of detail and flourishes. This album is a real pleasure to listen to on headphones. Some have mentioned Todd Rundgren's name as an influence and it is still here, but instead of copying Todd, Kevin has synthesized his influence into something new. Kevin openly admitted that "A Wizard a True Star" was a major influence on "Lonerism". "Currents" shows similarities to "Hermit of Mink Hollow". Both albums are about break ups and the aftermath (Melody Prochet, Bebe Beaull respectively), both albums were composed, written and performed by a single individual. There are large pop and blue eyed soul components in each album. Todd can only wish he could write a "Reality In Motion" or "Love / Paranoia" song now though his influence on these songs is evident. For those that were disappointed in this album, especially for the lack of guitars, I can understand your view. Tame Impala's changes have been revolutionary instead of just evolutionary which always alienates some old fans. I personally find this to be a great album.

When the singles came out, I played each one on repeat constantly. I listened to "disciples" 106x in one sitting on the day of its surprised release. The point is, Kevin is a master craftsman when it comes to writing addicting songs. Some songs are smothered in elaborate details, while others are simply a melody with little change. A purely enjoyable record. The first listen through, I was a bit disappointed; songs like "past life" and "reality in motion" left me almost embarrassed for Parker. After listening to this album dozens of times, I've grown to enjoy these songs and embrace them. "Love/Paranoia" is the only song I still fuss over. Why build and build this song to a peak with such beautiful grace and patience? Growing in balance and solidifying it with a perfectly crafted hook to close out the song, only to literally putter out during the guitar solo? Granted, Parker has never been a strong guitar soloist but he has shined in the past, and while on an album drawing from influences closer to Purple Rain than Revolver, he chooses to waste his perfect opportunity for what could have been THEE Tame Impala guitar solo with a sound expressed forth from what seems to be a limp guitar. Each time I hear this ending, I cringe just a little bit; as though he missed his next riff and allows his fingers to just give up before finding their groove. Enough criticism, overall the album still plays out as one of the greatest cross over albums ever, and simply in the top 3 for best album of 2015. If the record contained only "let it happen", I wouldn't change its rankings. But it doesn't, it's beautifully spaced by entrancing dance tracks and solid chill beats. Now during each listen, I usually play "Nangs" about 6x in a row until moving on. It's an immediate classic, just as easily as Lonerism and Innerspeaker are today. One last note: the complaints about heavy use of synthesizers... For all of you out there, have you ever actually listened to a Tame Impala album before? It's always been a key instrument. This time instead of taking a place alongside the bass or drums, it becomes the leading element. Psychedelics are about opening your mind, and psychedelic music is about the same thing. Instead of closing your opinion on what psychedelic music should sound like, why not grow with the change? "And If you don't think it's a crime, then you can come along... with me" - Kevin Parker

So glad I picked up this album to add to my Vinyl Collection but it does have some problems when i played it: 1.) The "Yes, I'm Changing" song had a scratched/skipped on the "I was raging," part. The other songs i played didn't have any problems when i played it. 2.) The discs looked a bit wonky when i took it out from the LP but i ain't complaining alot about cause i love this LP. Other than that, I love the cover and the artwork on it. I love Kevin's work on the Currents and all of his other stuff! Can't wait buy his Slow Rush LP when i eventually (No pun intended) get it!

Spent over a week, on constant repeat so I could give it an honest review. Upon first listen I was kind of scared. I really anticipated this album, so much I bought the CD, received day of release, unwrapped and listened straight through. It was weird. Not like the others. Very synthy. Few stand out tracks. I knew I needed more time with it. A week later, I love it! A lot of genius on here. Considering this is really a Kevin solo album and you can hear a lot of relationship inspiration. Singing in the higher octave, which proved successful for both the Broken Bells and The Strokes last efforts. I'd say Currents is more related to his electronically produced, Melody's Echo Chamber, than the last Tame record. No its not Lonerism, but honestly did we really want the same thing? This is a lasting band that changed and explores sounds. Alla Radiohead, Bjork, Beck, Julian Casablancas and dare I say The Beatles. They are not U2 or the Chili Peppers who, although great bands, always sound the same. I will admit some songs are too long, and some are just so good I wish they were longer. The two short intermission style loops are some of the most amazing sounds... like, WHY DIDNT YOU LOOP THAT FOREVER! haha. Thank goodness for repeat. It does leave you wanting more overall. Maybe one more rocker like The Less I Know The Better. But hey they have plenty of those in their arsenal. My absolute fav is The Moment. I love most tracks, maybe only skip Past Life once and a while, but even that is like a weird poetic trip. Great album, different, which was smart because you cant really compare it to their others. Its evolved. So am I.
