Australian Album of the Year Nomination #6 - Tame Impala - Currents


Tame Impala are easily one of Australia's most successful bands, now with their third album and long list of singles and ever growing list of awards 2015 was all about Tame Impala.

Currents featured fan favourites Let it Happen and Cause I'm a Man. This record was a serious line in the sand that Tame Impala are here to stay.

At the 2015 ARIA Awards Tame Impala took home 5 trophies from 6 nominations, not bad right?

Let it Happen is a clear favourite for this year's Hottest 100 and a Soulwax remix earned the band a long period of airplay across radio and indie clubs alike.


This album is so tight and so full of amazing songs i's hard to pick a favourite, although Cause I'm a Man really spoke to me. It was a mellow and amazing jam that just hit me the first time it hit the airwaves.

After falling in love with the band back in 2008 with Desire Be, Desire Go, if I knew back then how huge they would be now, I would have taken out a double mortgage and invested some cash in them.

Tame Impala Currents, a huge album, the ARIA album of 2015, gold selling in Australia, reaching Number 4 on the US Billboard 200 and receiving huge critical acclaim, but will it be the Australian Album of 2015, you'll have to wait till Australia Day next Tuesday.
