The Slow Rush by Tame Impala was released February 14, 2020.
The album has 12 songs with a total runtime of 57 minutes. The songs range from shorter interludes to being over 7 minutes long. There are many hits in this album such as “Borderline,” “Lost In Yesterday” and “Breathe Deeper.” It’s regarded as one of his best albums right under his album “Currents.”
“Boardline” is the most popular song on the album for good reason. The song has a moody, almost dreamy, persistent rhythm that makes it ideal for quiet listening. The song also has both an emotional and reflective feel. The relatable lyrical exploration of obsession and emotional detachment is where the real appeal lies.
“Posthumous Forgiveness” is an underrated song of the album. The song allows the living to break free from lingering resentment and grief after the death of a loved one. It’s all about the emotional release allowing listeners to find peace with their complicated past. The song helps let go of bitterness that otherwise hurts the living more than those who have passed. The song seems to be very cathartic and artistic leaving a deep message
This album deserves a 10/10 rating for its amazing musicality and deep lyricism.
