Review
Have you ever stumbled upon an album that feels like it’s whispering secrets directly into your soul? That’s exactly what Tame Impala's "Currents" does. Released on July 17, 2015, this third studio offering from Kevin Parker is like a kaleidoscope of neo-psychedelia and alternative dance, subtly transforming the very essence of what we've come to expect from him. It’s like he’s inviting us on this deeply personal journey while still cradling the rock roots that made us fall in love with his music in the first place.
Critics have lauded "Currents," giving it an impressive 84 Metacritic score and raving about Parker's genius in tugging at our heartstrings while keeping his own cards close to his chest. This isn't just emotion; it's a tidal wave of warm, sonic waves that pull you under and don't let go. Commercially, it soared—hitting number one in Australia and making a name for itself on the UK and US charts. Certified gold and Grammy-nominated, it cemented its legacy with accolades and, by 2020, was nestled comfortably among the greats on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." *The Australian* in 2023 even labeled it flawless, celebrating Parker’s daring dive into electronica and dance. "Currents" isn’t just innovative; it's pure, unfiltered evolution. - Lexi
