Tame Impala by Alex Haygarth
Tame Impala will be touring North America from the end of this month.
A Lil Yachty remix of Breathe Deeper is the first taste of a new, deluxe box-set version of The Slow Rush which Tame Impala will be releasing on February 18th next year.
“It was so amazing to work with Kevin as I’ve been a big fan since high school so it was a pleasant surprise and honor to be a part of such an incredible song,” Lil Yachty says.
The vinyl version of the reissue will come with alternate artwork and a 40-page booklet as well as two previously-unreleased B-sides.
“If his total artistic control is in no doubt, neither is Parker’s ability to join the dots into what the old timers called a hit,” we said of The Slow Rush in our 7.5/10 review back in February last year.
“Borderline sparkles with his AOR fairy dust, a twinkling house number with verses about self-discovery, while Lost In Yesterday rolls in on deep soulful Hall & Oates chords before arming itself with a waspish disco swing. Both sound completely effortless.”
“Things have changed in Parker’s life since Currents, which was nominally a break-up album, the most obvious of those being his recent marriage to Sophie Lawrence.”
“Signs of the obsessive letting life get in the way are not always obvious however, instead the singer ponders whether he’s still relevant at the grand old age of 34 on the lustrous It Might Be Time, while he chooses to re-examine his relationship with his father (who died in 2009) on the sober Posthumous Forgiveness.”
