Tame Impala - Eventually

Something’s flowing on Tame Impala’s ‘Currents’. On the songs showcased so far from the group’s forthcoming third album, they span from emotion-drenched disco to quickfire lo-fi production, right through to straight-up R&B ballads. It’s a juggernaut in the making, and new song ‘Eventually’ adds further fuel to the thought that something special awaits round the corner.

A twisted take on break-up songs, this latest cut sees Kevin Parker delivering direct rejection over sweltering synths. Boiling over with regret, it’s another lesson in precision. It’s just as capable of delivering in simmered down refrains as it is a bellowed-out chorus. Like ‘Let It Happen’, there’s a sharp pendulum swing between empty space and chunky instrumentals. If there’s any running thread currently swimming through ‘Currents’, it’s the sound of Parker exerting more control than ever.
