“‘Cause I’m A Man,” “Disciples” and “Eventually” have been available for some time now, and the entire album is just as strong as these singles. From there, the album lands into a flurry of lovely, upbeat tracks. Don’t fret, rock fans: This shows a healthy osmosis between genres and influences, in which artists are not pigeonholed.

I find this in line with a prominent rock music trend of the past 5 years or so, where rock artists borrow common effects or tropes of the electronic genre. Then, the record seamlessly transitions into dubby reverb at the beginning of the next track. A buildup and breakdown such as this is the type with which fans of electronic music are well acquainted.

“Let It Happen,” a title befitting the ‘60s era’s zeitgeist that Kevin Parker’s Beatles-reminiscent vocals conjure, takes you on a journey, crescendoing immensely before before bringing you back to reality. Let’s start things off right: The first track has the dreamy soundscape typical of Tame Impala. While it might sound like I’m lumping my psychedelic bands together, Tame Impala has a sound that’s unique, and their new album showcases their artistic individuality brilliantly. There is a common thread between Tame Impala’s previous album Lonerism and this year’s dd Currents. Tame Impala is the forerunner of what I call the “sunny psychedelia” genre including acts such as Jagwar Ma and Temples.

Much like Hansel, psychedelic rock bands are so hot right now - well, not like Top 40 hot, but still hot. The piecemeal release of tracks has some avid followers of this Australian psychedelic rock band familiar with highlights of Currents. If you forgot Tame Impala is releasing an album this week, it might be because a steady stream of singles have been available to the public throughout 2015.
