FEATURE: CURRENT NOSTALGIA

摘要

Kevin Parker goes 'old school' and mixes Currents himself, finding a balance between lo-fi and his own teenage nostalgia. "Just got back from tour," explained Tame Impala frontman, Kevin Parker, settling in for a chat. "Decompressing... no pun intended." For anyone that's followed Parker's trajectory, compression is no joke. Aside from those catchy psych-pop melodies, Lennon-esque dreamy falsetto, and Dunlop fuzz guitars, the sound of lo-fi, squashed drums was probably the most identifiable part of Tame Impala's breakthrough album Innerspeaker. And even though the second album Lonerism felt harder to lump in as psych rock, the legacy of Tame Impala continued to be built on that specific kind of nostalgia.
