Tame Impala - ”Cause I’m A Man’ (Haim Remix)

Thought Tame Impala’s new album ‘Currents’ couldn’t get any more psych-poppy if it tried? That assumption doesn’t account for a force of nature named Haim. Swaggering straight into the heart of ‘’Cause I’m A Man’ with the measured determination of a time-stretched Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen in a wallpaper shop, Haim outfit their reworking like Power Ballad HQ; hairbrush-microphones on hand, and jaunty, muffled chimes at every turn.

The drums bound synthetically with added melodrama, the synths wash, and Haim subtly turn ‘’Cause I’m A Man’ from a tongue-in-cheek song, into a full on ‘See It In A Boy’s Eyes’-level epic that Jamelia herself would be proud of. The only way this could get better? If they’d called it ‘Cause Haim A Man’.
