2023 2LP Gatefold With Custom Inner Sleeves. KUSF's 2015 Album Of The Year. "Currents" is the third studio album by Australian music project Tame Impala, released on July 17, 2015. The album marks a departure from the psychedelic rock sound that characterized Tame Impala's earlier work, moving towards a more pop and electronic-influenced sound. Kevin Parker, the mastermind behind the project, recorded the album almost entirely on his own, showcasing his multifaceted talent as a songwriter, producer, and performer. The album explores themes of personal transformation and introspection, with Parker drawing inspiration from changes in his own life. "Currents" includes notable tracks like "Let It Happen" and "The Less I Know the Better," both of which received significant critical acclaim and commercial success.
The vinyl release of "Currents" features the album's distinctive artwork, which is a blend of vibrant colors and flowing patterns that visually echo the themes of change and movement found in the music. The album's production emphasizes a lush, immersive sound, with Parker meticulously crafting each track to create a cohesive listening experience. The vinyl format captures the warmth and depth of the album's soundscapes, making it a popular choice for audiophiles and fans of Tame Impala. Since its release, "Currents" has been praised for its innovative approach and has solidified Tame Impala's place within the contemporary music scene, influencing a wide range of artists across genres.

Innerspeaker
New - LP - MODVL128
Sealed 2011 2LP Reissue Housed In A Gatefold Jacket. Plays At 33 1/3RPM Unlike The Original Pressing And This Particular Reissue Press Doesn't Include The Track "Interlude" On Side C, Like The Other 2011 Repress. “The Limpid Lysergic Swirls And Squalling Fuzz-Toned Riffs That Populate Tame Impala's Debut Clearly Owe A Hefty, Heartfelt Debt To The Hazy Churn Of Late-'60s/Early-'70s Psych Rock, But The Members Of This Perth Threesome Are Hardly Strict Revivalists. In Comparison To Their Similarly Inspired Contemporaries, They Chart A Course Somewhere Between Dungen's Lovingly Meticulous Replication Of Their Chosen Style And Malachai's Deconstructive, Electronically Enabled Pastiche Of Same, Deftly Skirting The Potential For Parodic Excess That Comes With Either Extreme. Balancing An Obvious Reverence For Their Sonic. The Album Frequently Feels So Sonically Massive, So Thick With Ringing Guitars, Walls Of Effects, And Tremendous, Reverberating Drums, That It's Hard To Believe It's The Work Of A Mere Threesome. It's Only Infrequently That Individual Songs Manage To Stand Out From The Surrounding Fluid, Atmospheric Haze -- Typically When The Band Decides To Leave Its Hooks A Bit Of Space To Breathe, As On The Chunky, Chugging Closer "I Don't Really Mind" Or The Crisp, Snakily Phased Guitar Lick Cementing The Deliciously Poppy "Solitude Is Bliss." But The Dearth Of Standout Tracks Here Hardly Feels Like An Issue -- Indeed, Innerspeaker Coasts So Beautifully On Its Blissful, Billowing Waves Of Sound That Readily Discernible Hooks Almost Seem Like Gratuitous Distractions.” K. Ross Hoffman, AMG.

Lonerism
New - LP - MODVL161
Sealed 2024 gatefold reissue with custom hype sticker on shrink. "There's a better than decent chance that, no matter where you are, Perth, Australia is pretty far away, a fact that pretty much makes Tame Impala mastermind Kevin Parker an isolated pop genius' isolated pop genius. Working mostly by himself, Parker mines this solitude with brilliant results on Tame Impala's sophomore effort, Lonerism. Diving headfirst into the realm of pop music, the way Parker uses keyboards to explore more traditional melodies makes the album feel like the McCartney to Innerspeaker's Lennon, blending the familiar with the far out to craft a Revolver-esque psych-pop experience. This shift from the guitar-heavy sound of the debut to a more synthed-out approach gives the album a more expansive feeling, allowing Parker to explore new textures through layer after layer of melody. As with Innerspeaker, sonic architect Dave Fridmann handles the mixing, and though he wasn't involved in the recording process, Lonerism definitely shares the producer's knack for using the space as an instrument in and of itself. This layering of not just sounds, but environments, creates a serene and lonely patchwork of sound, texture, and atmosphere that's a pleasure to explore, offering something different with every journey into its swirling haze of classic pop melody and modern, more experimental, construction. Most importantly, the partnership allows Fridmann to help shape Tame Impala's wild, starry-eyed ambition into something enveloping and accessible, a trick he's performed for the Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev again and again. This combination gives Lonerism the best of both worlds, allowing it the creative freedom to emerge as one of the most impressive albums of the home-recording era while still feeling superbly refined."
