The thing that is incredible about Tame Impala is his ability to use reverb and wub wub to litterally make it seem like the sound is hitting different parts of your brain. Like you can feel the sound moving in your head. Listening to him is like entering into pleasant mind control.

Funny thing is the song/word "Nangs" is slang for a method of consuming nitrous oxide. When you experience it, there is a quite a drowning wub wub wub sound as depicted in the song. It is fleeting and thus the song is short as mentioned by the father.

Found the song, put it on blast, and I'm fairly certain I spent 8 minutes outside my body that night. Such a good album, but Let It Happen will always hold a special place in my heart.

every once in a while i go back to this album and get obssesed with it, truly one of my favorites of all time.

[@rorypriest9251]

"Eventually" is one of Kevin's best tracks ever. I hope his opinion has changed.

[@yozypost]

I like that they brought up the fact that there's a lot of breakup dialogue in this album because it came out within a month of my first major breakup...it was something that was so key in putting my thoughts to words and bringing me peace, letting go of the other person and feeling like waiting for them would be a mistake... kudos to this album for helping all the heartbreaks like mine!

[@jackiecardenas473]

Love that for you 🦋

[@ConverseMusicWriting]

ahhh I love that for you!! I listened to this album shortly after my first major breakup too. it felt very timely :)

[@Toasty283]

Waiting for them would be a mistake. Very nice, dawg.

[@carols1406]

Can confirm - I have seen Tame Impala outside twice while the sun was setting. Everyone was totally grooving but sadly there was no neon paint!

[@bellebeauty97]

Yes I’m Changing has definitely become my favorite song on this album. It’s the best for driving late at night and reflecting. It made me emotional to hear your dads reaction ❤️

[@henry.smells]

Fun fact: In Australia a Nang is the colloquial term for a wippet (nitrous dioxide bulb) which are a pretty big part of party culture over here and for anyone who has ever experienced one, I'm sure you can understand Kevin's naming of the track.

[@satyapura7253]

now i need full explanation 😮

[@Chilipotamus]

@@satyapura7253 the way the track comes in, the warbling bass and synth stabs, emulates the auditory effects you get from enjoying a huff of nitrous

[@victoriavalladares2977]

I saw him live in concert, and he is prob one of the most talented, amazing, hardworking artist I’ve ever listened to! He truly he is a living legend!!

[@fergushodder7923]

Nangs was made about the inhalant drug Nitrous Oxide (NOs, Nangs, Whippets, Cream Chargers) it's a short intense high around the same length as the song. The song was created to make the listener feel what the buildup of a person inhaling a 'nang' feels like and how the intense high sounds and feels. Kevin was spot on with this, and I found it hilarious how you wished it was longer, which is exactly the same idea of a nang addict

[@JORDan-bh8qw]

This reaction, when it came out a year ago, is what made me a fan of Tame Impala and had me listening to all of his music. Thank you for that!

[@daansalmon5380]

Please give lonerism a listen next. It's the perfect mix of Kevin's psych rock roots and the more recent synth oriented stuff

[@jens2049]

Definitely. My favourite album of his

Yea I agree that’s his best album

let it happen is the greatest song ever created. point blank period.

It wasn’t until after my breakup and listening to eventually that I finally realized the beauty of this song. I avoided it so long because somehow, it spoke into my relationship and I just couldn’t go through with it. I’m glad I’m able to appreciate it now though 💕💕💕

[@JuiceLBK]

During Nangs your dad was saying how he could hear Frank on this. There is a a guy that mixed Blonde and Currents and its AMAZING. its on youtube. Franks vocals over Currents is flawless.

This Is Happening is the one!

[@nfaller89]

During a very depressing point in my life I played this album daily for what seemed like 2 years. At some point it dawned on me that I had been listening to it for so long. I can't remember the last time an album grabbed ahold of me so fast and for so long. It took years to shake this album. Slow rush was the only thing that snapped me out of it. I have to believe that Parker did it intentionally. Perhaps he's just so tuned in to the human experience of my generation.

[@Greg-dr2st]

This album changed my life. You guys should really do little dark age by MGMT one time

[@llsale7191]

Best music ever. Lifts you up and gets your day going. Kevin is a genius.

[@walteravila7038]

I remember reading about Currents on one of those best albums of the year lists in December of ‘15, been on that Tame Impala train ever since. God bless both Kevin’s 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@gilleite1524]

I lost my father when I was 9. He was a part time DJ while also being the Director of a Music Store in Portugal. The legacy he left me are more than 1500 vinyl records, DJ setups, etc.. I get sad for thinking he couldn´t had the opportunity to see me grow and enjoy the good taste in music that he inspired and left me. Seing all your videos, makes me happy because I can imagine doing the same with my dad if he would be around. Keep doing a great work together, really like your channel :)

[@unhelpfulrevelations7989]

I first heard this album a few years ago and last relistened to it just the other day. I still think it's perfect or nearly perfect, one of my favorites of all time. Kinda wild how in the space of first finding Currents and now I've discovered new artists, made new favorites, and eventually burned out on those favorites a little bit, but this is still strong as ever.

[@joannamarie6302]

regarding what kevin said about the less i know the better being kevin parker’s “wow this is a big hit” moment, if i’m not mistaken he tried to give the song away to his friend Mark Ronson but he turned it away because he knew it would be a mistake

[@ryanlichtel826]

new person, same old mistakes

[@luiscedeno7856]

wow respect to mark ronson

[@WiloPolis03]

[@Andre-bn6qq]

actually, kevin's wife was the one who told him not to do it, kevin said it on a podcast or in an interview, I don't remember

Can’t believe this album will soon be a decade old. It hasn’t aged a day in quality. You and your dad seem to have a great relationship! Very wholesome to see

I really appreciate your thoughtful comments and genuine engagement with each track, it truly felt like I was listening to the album for the first time with good friends. Disciples is a masterpiece, for sure

[@jackmaxwell2637]

I live in Victoria, Australia. Tame Impala did a national tour of our country and visited our small city of Geelong. They played in a small bar to no more than 100 people circa 2009 after the release of their first EP and the Sundown Syndrome EP. It’s so cool to see how far they’ve come throughout the last decade! Back then, everyone thought Tame Impala was more of a traditional band. But then after Currents came out, Kev was more open about how it was really primarily him doing the writing, recording and producing.

[@andrewmooduto1217]

now do Innerspeaker, Lonerism, and The Slow Rush! I wished you guys started in order tho to see Kevin's musical progression with Tame Impala

[@connelsmith4679]

You guys should do an album ranking at the end of the year. It would be super cool to revisit some of the albums you’ve reviewed and see how your thoughts or feelings have evolved on them over time

[@brandonkwhiz]

wish i could go back and listen to this record for the first time again. my favorite record of all time.

I’ve learned a few things about mixing and mastering my music better just from listening to the things your dad says in response to the music. Appreciate these videos.

[@meltthekeys6714]

Same, definitely a great resource for thinking about how people may perceive the music you put out

if you've never checked him out, i'd reccomend "the mercurial number six" he does music reactions just like this and he really knows his stuff. some of the insights he gives on albums ive heard a thousand times are really interesting

Kevin Parker's a musical genius and Currents is a masterpiece. Amazing stuff.

[@antenna7851]

His reaction to let it happen with covered in oil people is so on point cause it’s literally about feeling ecstasy or lsd for the first time where you let it happen :) I’m guessing that’s what he meant by when he said it took him to 80s

[@RobRamirez456]

Funny thing is every time this song plays in concert everyone gets covered in confetti at the climax of this song after the “glitch”

[@xGuardianAngelx]

I think it's meant more for general life, letting stuff happen but sure I guess it can be put that way too
