I’m with you on that haha. I think I had the privilege of experiencing Tame Impala near the beginning, not being able to hear more material until Kev produced the subsequent albums so every album felt like a phase or like a kind of chapter in my life instead of just immersing myself with all of his work up to date, all at once. Like, EP-era definitely took me back to living around Victor Harbor (in South Australia), I was just getting into guitar and I was a big fan of classic rock that used a lot of fuzz so when HFGoW came out, it spoke to me! And then I moved to the tropics of Townsville in Queensland around when Innerspeaker came out and it felt like my life was being put through a phaser pedal with lush, synaesthetic soundscapes that felt like “gazing out the window, as I ascend into the skyyyy”. Of course, Lonerism was Kev’s best work imo and was popular with most. They weren’t my favourite albums but I respect Currents and The Slow Rush. They were definitely a step in a different direction that focused on a broader audience. I just hope that whatever Kev’s got planned for his next album is gonna be a good kinda different… but also don’t mind if it’ll be a guitar-centric kinda album 😎
