Musically, Currents sounds like the work of a player on top of his game and having a blast, Kevin Parker indulging his whims and unafraid to dive down the rabbit hole after an idea. Again operating as a one man studio band, Parker’s resultant record calls to mind contemporary hip hop production, Thriller, fried ‘70s funk, the irreverent playground Daft Punk presented on Discovery, swathes of future pop and emotional ‘80s balladry, all filtered through a thoroughly modern psychedelic third eye. A genre-bending soundscape fueled equally by curiosity as it is consciousness, it’s exhilarating new territory for Tame Impala.
