Australian psychedelic rock outfit Tame Impala’s highly anticipated new album, Currents, is due out on July 17th through Interscope Records. Thanks to NPR, you can now stream the album early in its entirety.
The band decided to take a new direction with this release. As frontman Kevin Parker told NME, “I wanted to make something that from the sound of it could be down at the club. I just realised that I’d never heard Tame Impala played somewhere with a dancefloor, or where people were dancing. Listening to it was very much kind of a headphone, solitary experience. Which is cool, but I’ve moved on from that. I’ve always loved listening to music on my own, but there’s another side of me that is just fascinated by… like Goa trance for example – just a rave on a beach in India, you know? Where there’s not an artist to be worshipped, just someone that’s spinning the music, and it’s just this free flowing continuous energy. It was a front that I wanted to conquer, because I had conquered the solitary.”
