Tame Impala Travel Through A Kaleidoscopic Realm On 'Borderline'

Tame Impala's music plays at the gates of Heaven if it existed on a separate plane populated by sentient futuristic cars and moonwalking robots. Their latest track, 'Borderline,' is smooth, funky, and serene. It's like listening to a Greek siren with a little bit of an edge, luring you into the deep sea abyss. The world got a live taste of the song throughout their Saturday Night Live performance last month. Right now, the whole hallowed tune is accessible in CDQ.


Tame Impala's latest is funky feel-good music that involves that thumbs are snapped and heads are swayed – first to correct, and then the left. Close your eyes any time zoning out to Kevin Parker's soaring voice that floats above your head and you'll visualize colors – the visible spectrum and thus, so much more – smashing with each other, separating, blending, and multiplying into shapes recognized and never before seen. Plants blossom in sepia filters and peace signs sculpt from fingers. It's almost impossibly cute how light and feathery it is. Summer's right around the corner. This song is the signal that it's beginning early this year.


Last month, Tame Impala released their psychedelic comeback single, "Patience." It's identically as angelic and snappy, nevertheless it's from a different, slower-tuned realm. That's two releases in the range of a month. Their last studio release was 2015's Currents. These two recent drops would be the signal that something large is on the way. To catch the band's ethereal live efficiency presence, tune into Coachella their headlining set this weekend.
