If you're looking to escape into a psychedelic trance of synth-pop and rock, then Tame Impala's album, "Currents", is what you need. Kevin Parker is the amazing Australian mastermind behind the music, vocals and lyrics of Tame Impala. Although he is often seen playing live with other members, Parker is a one-man band. "Currents", which is the third album from Tame Impala, is a fusion of psychedelic rock and alluring lyrics. Parker created this album after going through a break up with an ex-lover. Through each song you can discern and sense Parker opening himself up to the world and how he perceived his past relationship.
Warm sonic waves and deep bass lines intertwine with themes of moving forward to past relationships.
The breakout hit, "The Less I Know the Better", expands on moving on from caring about someone while, "Yes I'm Changing", deals with the acceptance of change and self-growth. Finally, "Let It happen", leaves the listener in a sensation of suspense. Reflective, yet melancholy, each song allows for the listener to go through a wave of sentiments and notions. "Currents" is one of my favorite albums ever, and I listen to it whenever I am studying, lost in thought or driving for hours (it's currently playing as I type this).
Sometimes, the waves of "Currents" washes over you, and other times you find yourself floating above it. Whatever this album has you feeling, you will be listening to it on repeat, finding yourself dazed in the electrifying beats and soaring vocals.
