Tame Impala Share Infectious ''Cause I'm a Man' From New LP 'Currents'

Tame Impala Share Infectious ''Cause I'm a Man' From New LP 'Currents':

Australian psych-rockers Tame Impala will follow up their acclaimed 2012 LP Lonerism with a new album titled Currents, the band announced today. After unleashing the eight-minute epic "Let It Happen" in early March, Tame Impala also shared Currents' trippy cover art and official first single, the smooth, instantly infectious "'Cause I'm a Man."

Although revered for their psychedelic stylings and major riffs – Lonerism brazenly boasted a bonus track titled "Led Zeppelin" – the band's mastermind Kevin Parker is not shy about tackling different genres, from his recent collaborations with Mark Ronson on Uptown Special to Parker's open obsession with Britney Spears' music. "'Cause I'm a Man" is one such tonal shift as Tame Impala unleash a slow-burning, moody single that's just as delectable and unique as Lonerism standouts "Apocalypse Dreams" and "Music to Walk Home To."

"Sketched out in planes, cars, hotels and homes since the completion of Tame Impala's worldwide critically acclaimed Lonerism in 2012, ''Cause I'm a Man' and 'Let It Happen' were written, performed, recorded, produced and mixed by Kevin Parker in Fremantle, Western Australia," the band wrote in a press release. So far, no release date for Currents, the band's first album for Interscope, has been announced, but "'Cause I'm a Man" will be available to purchase digitally starting April 7th.

In addition to their new album, Tame Impala have also booked a two-month-long tour that kicks off April 8th and features stops at both Coachella weekends, the Sasquatch and Outside Lands fests and Governors Ball.
