three year gap between the albums leaves its significant stamp in music, but media is definitely exaggerating all the drama behind it - haunting, psychedelic atmosphere is still the most important factor of Tame Impala music, and it has never been as capturing, relaxed, cinematic and introspective as on this third longplay; the rest are just details, more important for music theoretics than its admirers, so keep calm about the means used to achieve the brilliant result, and enjoy what genius mastermind has brought on your coffee table, where subtle rhythmic shifts, immersive synth layers, and dreamy melodic phrasing intertwine with vulnerable, echo-laden vocals and introspective lyrics exploring detachment, identity, and the fluid nature of perception; recent European gatefold sleeve double black 180g vinyl edition
