Description
The highly anticipated The Slow Rush marks Tame Impalas (Kevin Parker) fourth full-length album overall and first studio effort since 2015s Grammy-nominated and BRIT Award-winning Currents. Recorded between Los Angeles and Parkers studio in his hometown of Fremantle, Australia, the twelve tracks were all recorded, produced and mixed by Parker himself.
The Slow Rush is Parkers deep dive into the oceans of time, conjuring the feeling of a lifetime in a lightning bolt, of major milestones whizzing by while youre looking at your phone, its a paean to creation and destruction and the unending cycle of life. Parker told the New York Times that, A lot of the songs carry this idea of time passing, of seeing your life flash before your eyes, being able to see clearly your life from this point onwards. Im being swept by this notion of time passing. Theres something really intoxicating about it.
Single It Might Be Time is your paranoid shadow snapping at your Achilles heel. Its the horrifying idea that your mojos gone out for a walk and it may not be coming back. Its second guessing yourself, wondering have I still got it? Did I ever? Your paranoid inner observer taunting you in your own denial, telling you to wake up and accept your salad days are over. A dynamic, bombastic burst of pungent prog-pop, It Might Be Time pulses on an insistent keyboard groove, punctuated by collisions of overblown drums flaying at the edges, the outward expression of a restless internal funk. A heady psych bomb threatening to implode, It Might Be Time is potent Tame Impala 2020.
The Slow Rush cover art was created in collaboration with photographer Neil Krug and features a symbol of humanity all but swallowed whole by the surrounding environment, as though in the blink of an eye.
