It follows 2015’s Currents, one of the decade’s best albums and top rock records.

The Slow Rush, which has been previewed with singles “Posthumous Forgiveness”, “Borderline”, and “It Might Be Time”, is out on February 14th, 2020. With the band being one of the 2010s’ best touring acts, this new trek is one not to be missed. You can find tickets to all of Tame Impala’s upcoming concerts here. It could mean next week it could mean next year it could mean another life, when time has folded back up on itself and all of old music has been made new again.The summer leg comes after a previously announced stretch of shows with Clairo and MGMT. But when those bass bombs reappear, the arrangement disintegrates, and the keyboards go all Bruce Hornsby-like, it becomes clear just how expansive he wants the word “eventually” to be. “I know that I’ll be happier, and I know you will too /eventually” Parker sings, rationalizing a break-up in the most common way possible.

The best track, “Eventually,” arrives with distorted bass slams so vivid they make it seem like the speakers are busted (broken machines: another thematically appropriate trope-do not adjust your television, etc. Let It Happen Soulwax Remix Tame Impala Modular. But the highlights tend to wake the listener up, whether the listener’s ready or not. 16 Comments 0 Tags Its always around me, all this noise But not nearly as loud as the voice saying 'Let it happen, let it happen (its gonna feel so good) Just let it happen. Not all of the album lands so strongly it wouldn’t be a psychedelic trip if you couldn’t zone out for a bit. It’s a high concept gimmick that’s also moving-here’s reality moving like a stream, getting diverted by some obstacle, and making a new path.

Like, the song starts to skip it sounds like the CD is scratched or your iTunes is frozen. The first example: During an instrumental break in the opening track “Let It Happen,” the music gets stuck. When the album’s the most gobsmacking, which is often, is when the lyrical themes align perfectly with the musical ones. “They say people never change,” Parker sings at one point, “but that's bullshit.” Accordingly, even as the music evokes laser shows and soft-focus video art, the melodies remain sturdy, the song structures trend poppy, and the philosophy is also straight talk. Which isn’t, as it may sound, pretension after all, it’s everyday problems, not visits to the Esalen Institute, that leads to most peoples’ existential questioning.

But then, at the end of the song, the narrator starts wondering whether this lover from a past life has changed her telephone number. You can most clearly see what he’s up to on the album’s eighth track, “Past Life.” Between choruses as smooth as “Kokomo,” a keyboard melody seemingly lifted from an after-school special plays as a low, pitch-shifted voice talks about glimpsing “a lover from a past life.” At first, I assumed it all amounted to an affectionate appropriation of new-age spirituality.
