Tame Impala The Slow Rush [Universal]
The cult audience amassed by Tame Impala over the past decade is a rare thing in the modern rock landscape. Yet, The Slow Rush finds Kevin Parker ready to evolve, as he adapts the band’s sound for a mainstream audience. The result is a psychedelic pop dreamscape, tinged with lush disco and funk elements. While somewhat lacking the immediately arresting nature of Lonerism and Currents, Parker’s now characteristically glorious production suggests fans old and new will find little to complain about here.
