Currents [2 LP]

Description

Limited double vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release, the highly anticipated third full length album from the much loved Australian band. Currents is the follow up to 2012's Lonerism. Kevin Parker, the musician behind Tame Impala, explained that Currents is about the process of personal transformation. He said, "It follows the progression of someone feeling like they are becoming something else. They're becoming the kind of person they thought they'd never become." The cover art for Currents was created by Kentucky-based artist and musician Robert Beatty. Parker has said Currents' designs are based on a diagram of vortex shedding he remembered while trying to visualize the album's themes. Includes the single 'Let It Happen'. Review: AWESOME AWESOME TUNES. If u like ur bass a little trippy with songs u can listen to for hours, THIS IS THE RECORD for u!! - I'm not really one for commenting on stuff on the internet unless I have a yearning to do so. Currents definitely deserves to b commented on. I'll start from the beginning with my (short but sweet) tame impala experience... I was listening to the alternative channel on my cable's music choice channel when I heard this Delicious bass line. I saw it was tame impala's "the less I know the better." (had never heard of them, they dnt play them around the DMV area on the alternative station, DC 101, but I did hear it once on SIRIUS satellite radio) This was 2 weeks ago, since then I've been going on YouTube EVERYDAY listening to this song, I couldn't get it out of my Head!!! Then I remembered I had an desertcart gift card, so I decided to buy this single. Well I discovered my gift balance was a lot more than I had anticipated so I figured I'd buy the whole album. Great Decision! I've been listening to this album since Wednesday NON STOP. It's psychedelic, it's trip hop, it's kinda funky (pseudo disco), it's a little electronic, it's dark and menacing while at the same time being beautiful. I've been completely knocked upside my head by this record. Initially The Less I know was my fav song but when I heard Past Life I repeated it like 10 times. Let It happen is a tune I can dance to forever. Nangs is an interlude that I've been repeating often (u kno ur listening to sumthing great, when the snippets have to b repeated!) I jus am head over heels for this album, I hope they keep distributing hypnotizing songs like these bc if so, I'm Officially a tame impala fan. Review: Great record for a good price - “It arrived in excellent condition — you can clearly tell it’s original and fully sealed, which I really appreciated. The packaging was great and protected the album perfectly. As for the record itself, it sounds amazing. If you’re a Tame Impala fan, this is definitely a must-have for your collection. The quality is great, the presentation is beautiful, and overall it exceeded my expectations. I’m really happy with this purchase and would totally recommend it.
