Today marks the one year anniversary of The Slow Rush, Tame Impala’s multi-award winning, internationally acclaimed fourth studio album.  Released via Island Records Australia, the album landed a second #1 album in Australia, the highest charting album to date in both the US and UK14 top 10 chart positions around the world and has amassed over one billion streams and counting.  To celebrate the release, Kevin Parker speaks to Australian media personality Linda Marigliano for The Slow Rush: A Deep Dive with Kevin Parkeravailable now on Spotify’s new Music + Talk feature

Recorded in late February 2020 at the Iconic Westlake Studio’s in Los Angeles, The Slow Rush: A Deep Dive with Kevin Parker delivers a rare insight into one of the world’s best contemporary songwriting and producing brains.  Taped in the afterglow of the album’s release, the conversation chronicles the first time Parker opened his laptop to dissect the tracks.  During the in-depth chat, experience The Slow Rush album from a different perspective as Parker shares his approach to writing, recording, production; and the sentiments and stories behind the songs including Glimmer, Breathe DeeperOne More YearOne More Hour and Borderline.

Parker has emerged as one of the most influential voices of the last decade. His latest album serves as a deep reflection on the passage of time.  "The Slow Rush is an extraordinarily detailed opus," said Pitchfork. "I have to marvel that all this sound and history comes from Parker alone, picking every string and twisting every knob."

The Slow Rush has achieved Gold accreditation in Australia, with singles Borderline claiming Platinum and Lost In Yesterday Gold status

On March 26, Parker will unveil the  InnerSpeaker 10 Year Anniversary Edition.  The deluxe,  4LP reissue features the singles Solitude Is Bliss, Lucidity, Expectation amongst the original album track list, plus a collage of album sketches, an unearthed, side-long jam, new mixes of tracks from the original album, instrumentals and a deluxe 40-page booklet.

Tame Impala recently landed three tracks in the triple j hottest 100 (Lost In Yesterday #5, Is It True #17 and Breathe Deeper #33) which follows on from Parker’s ARIA Awards haul, taking home Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album, Engineer of the Year and Producer of the Year.  Tame Impala is also nominated for two GRAMMY Awards for Best Alternative Album and Best Rock Song for the single Lost In Yesterday. This marks the third nomination in the Alternative category for Parker, having previously been nominated for Currents and Lonerism. Parker was nominated for two Billboard Music Awards and an American Music Award (AMA).

Thanks to the ravenous demand of fans for a transcendent live performance, Tame Impala has headlined festivals and theatres around the world and released four full length albums - InnerSpeaker, Lonerism, Currents and The Slow Rush.  As a writer and producer Parker has collaborated with Travis Scott, SZA, Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Kanye West, Kali Uchis, Theophilus London, Miguel, A$AP Rocky and more.
