New Tame Impala album will be called The Slow Rush and released in 2020

A new album from Tame Impala has taken the next step forward with the confirmation of its title and (vague) release period.

The Slow Rush is to follow 2015’s Currents in 2020, and more immediately the singles Patience and Borderline which, as promised by Kevin Parker, accompanied the band’s headline booking at this year’s Coachella Festival.

“The album’s dark and bouncing thematic closer ‘New Person, Same Old Mistakes‘ admits that a personal metamorphosis should be met with some doubt,” our Currents review reads.

“”The track’s cathartic bridge drops in out of nowhere, and proves that Parker has taken a leap not only as a songwriter, but as a producer as well. The production is intricate and unified, every sound is precisely placed, making for a glorious listen on headphones, but these grooves are meant to be felt out on the dance-floor.”

“The sequencing on ‘Currents’ is masterfully crafted; the lyrical narrative slowly unfolds while the music remains consistently engaging throughout the 13-song set.”
