Tame Impala are at number one on the UK Record Store Chart this week with ‘Currents‘, which our review described as ‘a creative and artistic triumph‘.
It ends Four Tet‘s stay at the top, who drops down one place with ‘Morning/Evening‘, while another Live4ever favourite – C Duncan‘s ‘Architect‘ – is a new entry at #7.
