The loneliest album ever engineered for festival fields: Currents trades Tame Impala's guitars for liquid synths and disco pulse, with every fader move executed by one man in a studio processing one breakup. "Let It Happen" is eight minutes of surrender as epiphany; "The Less I Know the Better" became the era's bassline. A pivot so total it redefined the project.

About

Currents is the third studio album by Australian psychedelic rock act Tame Impala, to be released on 17 July 2015 on Interscope Records. Like the group's previous two albums, Currents was written, recorded, performed, and produced by primary member Kevin Parker. In contrast to the psychedelic rock sound of those albums, Currents marks a shift to more dance-oriented music, with more emphasis placed on synthesizers than guitars. Parker was inspired to seek a change out of desire to hear Tame Impala's music played in dance clubs and after an emotional experience listening to the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive". Thematically, the record is about the process of personal transformation. Parker said, "It follows the progression of someone feeling like they are becoming something else. They're becoming the kind of person they thought they'd never become." For Currents, Parker returned to the seaside house in which he recorded the group's first album, Innerspeaker (2010). The album was preceded by the singles, "Let It Happen", "'Cause I'm a Man", "Disciples", and "Eventually".
