ALL THE BEST MEMES ABOUT THE NEW LORDE SINGLE 'SOLAR POWER' 1 day ago · Just as poignant is the moment when the singer calls herself a “prettier Jesus“, celebrating herself and her ingenuity while the instrumentation whirls around her.

TAME IMPALA’S ‘THE SLOW RUSH’ IS BEAUTIFUL BUT PAPER THIN 'The Slow Rush' is pretty, and there's a lot of it. But given the band has already mastered that way of making music, is it really so crazy to hope that Parker and co. might one day try doing less? by Joseph Earp 14 February 2020__ __

Kevin Parker, the creative force behind Australian psych-rock heroes Tame Impala , has always had the same problem: he’s a perfectionist. That means agonisingly long wait times between records — devoted fans had to twiddle their thumbs for four years between the release of _Currents_, the album that cemented the band’s place in the pop culture firmament, and their newest work, _The Slow Rush_. But, more importantly, it also means that Parker is always at risk of buffing out the things that make him special. Left too long to his own devices, and the musician has a habit of sanding his songs down to nothing. The best Tame Impala songs feel dashed out and brief; the worst ones so pretty and belaboured as to barely exist at all. Unfortunately, it’s the latter mode that the band find themselves in throughout _The Slow Rush_, the sonic equivalent of gold-leaf printed wallpaper in an upscale hotel: baroque, beautiful, but utterly paper thin.Related
Tame
Impala Have Announced Their Biggest Australian Tour Ever Which doesn’t make it bad, exactly. Parker remains one of the most influential and important producers in the game, and the joy of hearing him tinker around in his studio like an obsessive grandfather working away in a backyard shed is still as thrilling as ever. ‘Is It True’, the record’s most straight-up-and-down pop single, is a beehive of trills and echoes, and ‘Posthumous Forgiveness’ smears a fuzzy vocal line over a guitar part that could have been written by Hal from _2001: A Space Oddyssey, _had he been raised on a steady diet of Spaghetti Western soundtracks. Every sound on every song has been manipulated in complicated, artful ways — mini-universes like ‘Breathe Deeper’ could have taken four years to write in and of themselves, let alone the rest of the album. So who knows if _The Slow Rush_ contains Parker’s blood and tears, but it’s definitely full of his sweat, a compact, interlocked puzzle of melodies and shimmering guitar licks. Initially that complexity overwhelms, and the first listen is a shimmering, frenetic experience. But constructing a puzzle this elaborate is an open invitation to the listener to solve it. Which is a problem, given that Tame Impala songs are never really ‘about’ anything. Beauty is self-justifying — there’s no ‘why’ to ask of a song like bombastic closer ‘One More Hour’. Parker’s concerns are purely aesthetic — it’s impossible to imagine a ‘political’ Tame Impala record, let alone an ‘autobiographical’ one. The man’s an 18th century landscape painter, not a confessional poet or a politician, and the more effort he puts into his songs, the more compelled an audience might be to work out what they ‘mean’. > Who knows if _The Slow Rush_ contains Parker’s blood and tears, > but it’s definitely full of his sweat. Which is nothing, really — less so even than Tame Impala hits of the past. Gone are the flute blasts of emotion that make ‘The Less I Know The Better’ and ‘Feels Like We Only Go Backwards’ so special. Songs like ‘Tomorrow’s Dust’ are beautiful, sure. But they feel like evidence that Parker has lost himself in the studio, wandering around in ever-smaller circles of detail, rather than risking exposing himself. But even if you resist the urge to pick the thing apart or to search for the point of exercise, there’s still a distinct sense of over-familiarity. Parker has a single creative mode, and on _The Slow Rush_, he burrows deeper into it, rather than ever pushing his boundaries outward. The disco-indebted, Daft Punk-esque ‘On Track’ might be the best song on the record, but it could just have easily been a _Lonerism_ B-side, while ‘Glimmer’ is a long corridor of self-referential in-jokes. The fans won’t be complaining, then. But anyone with even a passing hope that Parker might be interested in making something more than _Currents Part 2_ will be disappointed. _The Slow Rush _is pretty, it’s slick, and there’s a lot of it. But given that the band has already determinedly mastered that way of making music, is it really so crazy to hope that Parker and co. might one day try doingless?

Slowthai has issued an apology for his embarrassing and disturbing behaviour at the NME awards, where,
ironically, he was present to pick up the Hero of the Year award. Slowthai, who made a splash with his burning, beautiful record _Nothing Great About Britain_, began to act out early during the night, when he made a series of increasingly lewd remarks to hostKatherine Ryan.
Asking her to smell his perfume, and later making coded references to tending her “flower”, Slowthai’s actions were immediately slammed by those in the audience and those watching the videos postedon social media.

Now, in the cold light of the next morning, the rapper has apologised for his behaviour, promising to leave the “comedy” to Ryan. > .@nme please forward > my award to @kathbum > for she is the > hero of the year. what started as a joke between us escalated to a > point of shameful actions on my part. i want to unreservedly > apologise, there is no excuse and I am sorry. i am not a hero.

For her part, Ryan immediately accepted the apology, sending messages of support to the rapper and hoping that his “bad day on social media passes so quickly”. > I knew you were joking and congratulations on your very award-worthy > album!
