Condition: Brand New Ships from: Melbourne Description Release details Tracklist Currents, released on July 17, 2015, is Tame Impala’s third studio album and a milestone in Kevin Parker’s evolution as a songwriter and producer. Entrenched in lush synth textures, grooving bass lines, and refined electronic flourishes, the record marks a deliberate turn away from the guitar-driven psychedelia of previous work. Parker composed, recorded, performed, and produced **Currents** entirely by himself in his home studio, bringing a singular vision to every layer of the sound. Thematically, the album grapples with transformation, introspection, heartbreak, and the often fraught journey of self-acceptance—concepts tied closely to Parker’s own transitions in life. Tracks like “Let It Happen,” “The Less I Know the Better,” “Eventually,” and “Yes I’m Changing” demonstrate how Parker marries experimental studio techniques with deeply emotive songwriting. The album unfolds like a flowing river of sound, alternating between euphoric synth-pop momentum and quieter, reflective passages. Currents challenged expectations of what a Tame Impala album could be and broadened his audience by bridging indie-psych and contemporary electronic sensibilities. Over the years, it has come to be honored not only as one of his most ambitious works but as a defining record of modern psych-pop. Reviews “Nearly every proper song on Currents is a revelatory statement of Parker’s range and increasing expertise as a producer, arranger, songwriter, and vocalist while maintaining the essence of Tame Impala.” – Pitchfork “Even if his explorations only get him as far as his next song, it’s a trip worth taking.” – Rolling Stone Review AllMusic rating: AllMusic users: (2,052 votes) Read the AllMusic.com review Artist: Tame Impala Label: Interscope Records Format: LP Units: 2 Country: Europe Genre: Pop & Rock Style: Indie Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Synth-Pop A1 Let It HappenA2 NangsA3 The MomentB1 Yes I'M ChangingB2 EventuallyB3 GossipC1 The Less I Know The BetterC2 Past LifeC3 DisciplesC4 Cause I'M A ManD1 Reality In MotionD2 Love / ParanoiaD3 New Person, Same Old Mistakes
