Overview
’Currents’ is a shimmering, synth-laden reinvention that finds Kevin Parker shedding the fuzzed-out Psychedelic Rock of his earlier work in favour of sleek, pulsating grooves. The album feels like a funky journey, drenched in lush synth textures, hypnotic basslines, and crisp drum beats. The production is immaculate, with every sound meticulously placed to create a dreamy yet propulsive atmosphere. There’s plenty of introspection, with themes of change, heartbreak, and self-discovery, making the record feel both deeply personal and universally relatable. The shift from guitar-driven Psychedelia to a more Electronic-tinged aesthetic was a bold move, but ‘Currents’ proves that evolution can be just as exciting as nostalgia.
Recommended for Funky Psychedelic listeners looking for a smooth trip.

What an album cover - it's iconic for modern music and perfectly reflects the psychedelic and experimental sound of the record. The lines, or 'Currents,' obviously tie into the album, representing movement, change, and flow - concepts that the album's theme clearly expresses throughout. Minimalistic yet complex - fantastic.
