Tame Impala - Currents

"Currents" is the third studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band Tame Impala, released in 2015. The album marked a departure from the band's previous sound, incorporating more electronic and dance influences while still maintaining their signature dreamy, psychedelic vibe. The album's lyrics explore themes of personal growth, change, and the complexities of relationships. Tracks such as "Let It Happen" and "The Less I Know the Better" have become fan favorites, with their infectious beats and catchy melodies.

Australian combo Tama Impala has always been hard to pin down, with their two studio albums to date displaying a keen desire to capture a trippy, psychedelic vibe, whilst refusing to settle on one easy-to-categorize sound. Currents, their fourth album, continues this trend, toning down some of the psychedelic rock elements in favour of nods to blue-eyed soul, woozy dream-pop, cheery summery pop (see the radio hit in waiting "The Less I Know The Better"), and even the head-nodding rhythms of hip hop (which, incidentally, prove the perfect backing for the morphine pop wooziness of "Past Life"). It's a blend that re-casts the band as baked, inter-dimensional travellers with a neat line in enveloping, sun-kissed downtempo pop.
