REVIEW: Tame Impala, The Slow Rush

by Mr. Wavvy

The Slow Rush may not be Tame Impala’s most exciting project to date but still has plenty of enjoyable moments to offer.

Tame Impala, The Slow Rush (Interscope)

Lonerism and Currents were respectively two of the quintessential indie rock albums of the 2010s. How do you follow up two back-to-back, genre defying albums? Maybe you release a project a little less momentus and maybe that’s just fine. The Slow Rush may not be the most exciting project to date from Tame Impala, but it still has plenty of enjoyable moments to offer. Kevin Parker goes considerably more dance-oriented than his past releases, the album feeling near tailor-made for the festival circuit. As its title insinuates, The Slow Rush is not a first listen knockout, rather a gradual grower. 8/10 Trial Track: “Is It True”‘
