"Is It True" sits ninth on The Slow Rush, the fourth album from Kevin Parker's Australian psychedelic project Tame Impala, which landed on February 14, 2020; that August it was cut loose on its own as the record's sixth and last single. Parker wrote it, produced it and mixed it himself, and it's the sound of a studio obsessive letting his shoulders drop: a rubbery, bouncing bass line, glowing synths and a loose, sunlit groove that owes more to the dance floor than the lava lamp.
Four Tet remixed it for the deluxe B-Sides and Remixes edition, and on Billboard's rock charts it climbed as high as number 10.
