The Slow Rush by Tame Impala
The Slow Rush is an album by Tame Impala, released in 2020. 6 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 50 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Lost In Yesterday”, on 23 lists with a best position of #2.
The Slow Rush, Tame Impala's fourth album, landed on 14 February 2020, nearly five years after Currents, and as ever it's the work of one man: Kevin Parker, the Australian who writes, plays, records and produces the whole thing himself. "Borderline", released the year before, was the first single.
This time Parker roots his dreamy psychedelia in disco, and the grooves glide, all rubbery bass, soft-focus synths and his hazy voice drifting over the top. "Lost in Yesterday", "Is It True", "It Might Be Time" and "Breathe Deeper" are pure silk. Critics liked it, it went straight to the top in three countries, and at the 2020 ARIA Music Awards it took five prizes, among them Album of the Year, with Parker winning Producer and Engineer of the Year himself. A deluxe box set followed in February 2022, with remixes by Four Tet and Blood Orange and a guest turn from Lil Yachty.
