Tame Impala - Slow Rush (2LP/Gat/Black)
Tame Impala – The Slow Rush is the fourth studio album from Tame Impala, the psychedelic music project of Australian musician Kevin Parker. Released in 2020, the album continues Parker's evolution from psychedelic rock towards a richly produced blend of synth-pop, electronic music and shimmering psychedelic sounds.
Featuring standout tracks including "Borderline", "Lost in Yesterday", "Breathe Deeper", "Posthumous Forgiveness" and "It Might Be Time", the album explores the passing of time, memories, relationships and the uncertainty that accompanies major changes in life. Parker's distinctive vocals are surrounded by layers of synthesizers, hypnotic rhythms and meticulously crafted production.
Written, performed and produced almost entirely by Parker himself, The Slow Rush combines intricate studio experimentation with some of Tame Impala's most immediate and accessible songwriting. Dancefloor rhythms and infectious melodies sit alongside dreamy, introspective passages, giving the album a distinctive balance of energy and atmosphere.
The Slow Rush further established Tame Impala as one of the most influential alternative acts of the modern era. Colourful, immersive and beautifully produced, it is an album filled with detail that continues to reveal itself over repeated listens.
