“Currents” album cover

Anna Gil, Music Reviewer

Tame Impala’s newest album, “Currents” released in the summer of 2015 and it’s still widely considered their best work. The album opens with “Let It Happen,” a hypnotic fusion of keyboards and mesmerizing vocals. This contrasts to the slower rhythm of songs like “Yes I’m Changing” and “‘Cause I’m a Man” while maintaining a constant flow of a psychedelic feel throughout the album. Kevin Parker, the foundation of the band, brings back 70s psychedelic and 80s pop influences yet still creating a modern pop sound. The band mimics the sound of Pink Floyd and attracts a younger audience, which is why “Currents” is a staple album for any listener.
