If youve been following the story so far, it makes sense that The Slow Rush is the logical progression from 2015s , especially considering that s sole proprieter has been palling around with in the interim. I dont care that has completely discarded any shred of fuzz rock cred to his name, or if this is music made for West Village bottomless brunch, or that this sort of endless nostalgia feedback loop is responsible for the standstill of progressive modern music I want to feel good, all the time, baby. Ive been reading a lot of Mark Fischer so Im very close to not being able to enjoy this at all. But like any other Tame Impala record, and unlike 99% of the lo-fi ~analogue~ pastiche pervading the current culture, theres something gliding beneath the surface of The Slow Rush thats missing from other records: genuine hits. Dress them up any way you likebut theyre still hits. Our faves: Breathe Deeper, Glimmer (extended edits incoming in 32), Lost In Yesterday, It Might Be Time (is getting a check for this?) and Instant Destiny. Only gripe is I wish Patience made the album but I guess Ill have to settle for a $50 custom 7-inch lathe like every other psychopath.180g black vinylhoused in matte gatefold jacket with full color printed inner sleeves and printed insert.
