If Let It Happen,the first track from the TBA third Tame Impala LP, clocked off around the four-minute mark, you’d still be left with a solid assurance Kevin Parker is still on the right track. Instead, this time around, the swirling key melodies stutter, as if Parker is switching up to a dance remix of his on track at the midway point. A swell of orchestral strings, unintroduced so far in the Tame Impala canon, eventually get sucked into a dancefloor vortex, then a crisp Billie Jean beat heralds the remainder of the track. It’s the gamut of Tame Impala in one package, the faultless ear for melody, plus the impulse for dancefloor production, only really indulged previously on the killer B-Side Beverly Laurel (check it out if you haven’t already).
