Tame Impala: The Slow Rush - Deluxe Edition (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 4LP+7" Boxset - LIMIT 1 PER CUSTOMER
Deluxe edition of Kevin Parker's 2020 psychedelic pop opus! This sprawling boxset includes the full original album plus loads of bonus tracks, including b-sides "Patience," "The Boat I Row" and "No Choices," remixes by Four Tet, Maurice Fulton, Blood Orange and Lil Yachty, plus Kevin Martin's killer NTS extended version of "One More Year." The set contains two transparent red LPs, two 12" singles, one 7" single, photo booklet and 2050 calendar, all housed in a deluxe outer box. Here's our original review from when the album first came out, just weeks before the pandemic hit :(
If you’ve been following the story so far it makes sense that The Slow Rush is the logical progression from 2015’s Currents, especially considering that Tame Impala’s sole proprieter has been palling around with Mark Ronson in the interim. I don’t care that Kevin Parker 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. I’ve been reading a lot of Mark Fischer so I’m 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, there’s something gliding beneath the surface of The Slow Rush that’s missing from other records: genuine hits. Dress them up any way you like but they’re still hits. Our faves: “Breathe Deeper,” “Glimmer” (extended edits incoming in 3…2…), “Lost In Yesterday,” “It Might Be Time” (is Quincy getting a check for this?) and “Instant Destiny.” Only gripe is I wish “Patience” made the album but I guess I’ll have to settle for a $50 custom 7-inch lathe like every other psychopath. 180g black vinyl housed in matte gatefold jacket with full color printed inner sleeves and printed insert. Recommended.
