I first began listening to Tame Impala when “The Less I Know The Better” was a mainstream song being used in all sorts of media. The song itself has an ethereal and otherworldly feeling. Even the album cover itself gives off a psychedelic vibe. After listening to the rest of the album, it became clear that Tame Impala couldn’t create an objectively bad song. I have a very short attention span, but I was able to listen to the entirety of this album in one sitting without doing anything else. The catchy melodies, incredible bass lines, and unique audio mixing choices all make listening to this album a truly unique experience. Rating: 5/5 @Makani of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library Currents is the third studio album by the Australian rock band, Tame Impala. The album was released in 2015 and it received several awards and nominations. When I first began listening to the songs, I was unsure of what I was getting myself into. However, just a few moments in, and I began loving the music. The genre of the album is considered to be a mix of psychedelic pop, disco, R&B, and electronic pop, all of which come together to create unique melodies. While I enjoyed listening to all the songs in the album, my personal favourites were: “The Less I Know The Better”, and “Let It Happen”. Apart from the melodies, the album also has some nice lyrics, and there is a central theme of transitioning as a person and growing older. Many of the experiences shared are relatable, which make the album even more enjoyable. I would give it 4.5 stars. @Riveting_Reviews of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board
