Product description
Global sensation Tame Impala have announced their highly anticipated third studio album. The 13 track album, Currents was written, recorded, produced and mixed by Kevin Parker in Fremantle, West Australia. Lyrically the record finds Parker in a very different place in 2015 to where he was seven years ago. Transitions in life, relationships, perspectives, mindsets - Currents maps Parker's evolution through these and finds him a brand new person. Musically, Currents sounds like the work of a player on top of his game and having a blast, Parker indulging his whims and unafraid to dive down the rabbit hole after an idea. Again operating as a one man studio band, Parker's resultant record calls to mind contemporary hip hop production, Thriller, fried 70s funk, the irreverent playground Daft Punk presented on Discovery, swathes of future pop and emotional 80s balladry, all filtered through a thoroughly modern psychedelic third eye. A genre-bending soundscape fuelled equally by curiosity as it is consciousness; it's an exhilarating new territory for Tame Impala.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 202417 year olds first vinyl ( Christmas gift ) ,I also enjoyed listening to this Australian group 👍

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 April 2024Up there with his best album, amazing sound no skips that I have found
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 October 2016I don't buy many CDs nowadays as I often only like a few tracks and the rest seem like filler. However I bought this because I love it all. One of the most exciting groups nowadays especially live. People of all ages like them (my generation remembers psychedelia the first time round)! With his John Lennon style voice, no wonder Kevin Parker appeals to a wide age group. There are some gems on this album: The Moment, Yes I'm Changing, Eventually, New Person, Same Old Mistakes (Rihanna covered this one). I first caught onto this group after hearing Let It Happen and hadn't felt so excited about a song for a very long time. Great video too.
I've since listened to the other two Tame Impala albums and like those too but I think this is the best and probably the most commercial (but in a good way). Give it a listen, I doubt you'll be disappointed. I was suitably impressed with their 2016 Glastonbury appearance - exciting performance, confetti, lights and a rainbow thrown in for good measure!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2023Looks just as it did on the picture came in protective packaging so the record was safe and arrived in plenty of time a perfect gift
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2015Tame Impala have shrugged off any ideas that they were anything more than one man some time ago and Kevin Parker, who is Tame Impala now, writes, performs, produces and sings everything here. This is their third album and in truth its probably a bit different from whats gone before. Echoes of Giorgio Moroder and Daft Punk have been added into the mix and this is a laid back love infused album. If added a bit of the fuzz to the mix then this would not be far off the recent effort by Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Let It Happen, Disciples and Reality In Motion are among the strongest tracks here but the long languid approach means a different track might hit you more strongly on each listen.
The problem with doing everything yourself is that is difficult not to become self indulgent. On this effort Parker has just about avoided that. It may divide fans but overall not a bad effort at all.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2022I was seriously blown away by this pressing. I got a real rush and tingles when listening to the sounds that came off this thing. Modern pressings of modern albums can sometimes just be a visual novelty, but not this one. I experienced the songs in an improved way, every single sound within each song is so crisp and clear. You’re in for a treat if you buy this.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2015My first listen of this album – I suspect like many long-time Tame Impala fans – was a bit of an unpleasant jolt. The hazy, guitar-driven psychedelia is all but gone, replaced by a more 80s-heavy sound, both in the songs' arrangements and its love affair with synth. Frankly, that initial hearing was a pretty disappointing one.
But after a few repeat listens, the beautiful details of this album begin to emerge, illustrating Kevin Parker's immense talent for creating a nostalgic, yet completely modern-sounding wall of sound.
Highlights include 'Let it Happen', 'The Less I know the Better' and 'New Person, Same Old Mistakes', but Currents really works best (like Innerspeaker and Lonerism) as a coherent whole, not as standalone tracks. The psychedelic sound may have shifted on by a few decades, but it remains in full force throughout, giving the album much more in common with its predecessors than you at first realise.
So TI fans: stick with it - you'll find you'll love it as much, if not more, than their previous albums.
