It’s been four-plus years since Australian psych-rockers Tame Impala released Currents, the band’s third studio album. Over the last few months, the group—still written, produced, and fronted by Kevin Parker, he of the numerous Perth-based musical collectives—has been hinting that something new might be coming down the blissed-out, synth heavy line, and tonight the rumors were confirmed: The fourth Tame Impala record, The Slow Rush, is officially on its way.
Per Pitchfork, the new album is due out in 2020; presumably, the two new singles the band released this year, “Patience” and “Borderline,” will both feature. It’s been a big year for Australia’s favorite laid-back musical sons and daughters; they headlined Coachella earlier this year, and served their first stint as musical guests on SNL.

Can’t wait for the videos. They have some of the best videos ever.
I’d complain that it was supposed to come out this past summer but I know the Cali fires screwed up his recording something awful so I’m just glad it’s coming out at all.
All their shit sounds the same to me. I realize that’s my own problem, but there it is.
I’m with you. A number of girls I know LOVE Tame Impala, so I figured, why not I’ll check it out. I don’t get it. It’s not bad, but I don’t see what’s special about it. To each their own.
And you’re literally indistinguishable from every other commenter who thinks it’s interesting to express a dislike of a popular band.
I miss their guitars.
I THOUGHT THEY JUST PUT OUT AN ALBUM UNDER THE NAME TEMPLES.
…shit, my takes are hot.
