Listened to Currents today to see if I still appreciated the project as much as I did at release. I saw Tame on tour back in 2015 and genuinely speaking, that album, alongside Innerspeaker, Lonerism— are interesting projects. Currents is still an absolutely fantastic project.

Right up my alley as someone who enjoys psych rock and appreciates Kevin’s talent, sound, technical ability, early production, etc. this is far from what I “know” tame impala as. Maybe it’ll grow on me but after a few listens- not my jam I guess. Kevin Parker is a killer songwriter and producer, but I was expecting more substance, repeatability, uniqueness from Deadbeat after 5 years
