Editors’ Notes Canyon-like grooves, iridescent synths, and hypnotic melodies: Kevin Parker’s third full-length under his Tame Impala alias is his finest to date—a throbbing, psychedelic soul opus that echoes Michael Jackson and Prince as readily as it does Syd Barrett. While the opening statement, “Let It Happen,” is a mostly guitar-less, seven-minute journey through cascading keyboards and falsetto vocals, “The Moment” is majestic pop that brims with both finger-snaps and gilded basslines.
