The Top 30 Albums Of 2020 (So Far): Tame Impala - 'The Slow Rush'

"It seems the number of instruments and sounds utilised in this release may be endless, yet somehow everything owns its place perfectly." - Emily Blackburn

Kevin Parker is the kind of producer that can work in paradoxes. 

He pulls from a plethora of styles and genres, yet his music remains cohesive. He overloads the senses with instrumentation but somehow it’s refined and elegant. It’s always felt as if Tame Impala has been a direct projection of Parker’s working brain, as it blends these elements together into a chaotic symphony.

The Slow Rush does exactly what it says on the tin and continues to play into Parker’s cognitive dissonance. 

The burn is gradual and full-bodied, and locks newcomers into something special while giving seasoned fans more than enough to hold onto.
