    I remember when 'Currents' came out and my old man asked me to go out and cut the lawn...I put my earphones in and mowed the lawn while listening to the entirety of that album. It was summer, it was hot...and it was a good time. The lawn was excellently cut that day.

    • @imslicc
      @imslicc 4 года назад +3

      first, he is. he's like the same level as john lennon or thom yorke. second, it's his job, song writing. he probably threw away 30 other not so good songs. the ok computer leaked sessions prove it. artists in that level write many songs, to increase the probability of something good to come out.

      @hippiecheezburger5457 4 года назад +2

      I feel like it’s an emotional experience as an album. The Slow Rush is good, not terrible in anyway but there’s no emotion like the previous 3 records. The Less I Know the Better is emotional, the lyrics are emotional, you feel the song. A song like Is It True is a great groove, it’s melodic but it’s not emotional...

    It's to his genius that TLIKTB is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't think you can ever say that there is one ultimate Tame Impala song because there isn't. Across the four albums he's shown great variety and there's a song for every occasion or human feeling.
    Based on his interviews I also think he's someone who genuinely so enjoys making music that he doesn't fully realize the genius he is. I think this is a common trait amongst immensely talented people, they see themselves as fairly regular when they're anything but. Its only when society gives them awards or praise does it start to hit

    In KP's interview with Zane Lowe he disagrees with Zane that geography would or should impact his music. But at 5:00 in regards to his mindset when writing the Less I Know the Better, Kevin says "the fact that I was in a new place kind of spurred on a few different melodic ideas". This is the closest thing to a contradiction I've heard him make, but it seems like what he's trying to say is that even though music for him comes from within, where he is in the world can effect his mindset, and therefore the ideas found "within".

    • @Pedro-mm8wt
      @Pedro-mm8wt 4 года назад +7

      But in that same interview with Lowe, he also accepts that making the album in LA had an impact and that the environment (beach, people, different studio) played a big part for the mindset and the flow for writing TSR. It seems like he´s saying "fuck it, it depends"

      Nice opinion yet I really found him through currents which saved my life. It’s all perspective and which music relates to your life the most.

      I was able to see Tame in San Diego on 3-9. Truly amazing show, waited a long time to catch him in concert. Thank goodness it wasn't canceled
