The Slow Rush


Tame Impala


The nature of time comes under focus with
Australian singer-songwriter Kevin Parker’s
The Slow Rush, which he has produced
under the banner of his musical project Tame
Impala. The album is also something of a
transition, reflecting the project’s past while
hinting at its future.


FIVE FACTS:



  1. Parker originally conceived Tame Impala
    in 2007, with the first debut album credited
    under the moniker arriving in 2010.

  2. Since then, Tame Impala has released
    another three studio albums and
    attracted acclaim for its psychedelic and
    hypnotic sounds.

  3. Of The Slow Rush’s tracks, the earliest to be
    released as a single was “Borderline” on April
    12, 2019.

  4. It was not until the following October 28
    that the album’s second single, “It Might Be
    Time”, was released.

  5. Parker explained to Apple Music that
    the track “Lost in Yesterday” refers to the
    addictive, drug-like effect of nostalgia.
