What’s a guilty pleasure song?
I have a lot of guilty pleasure songs, mainly along the lines of dance music (Charlie XCX, Empire of the Sun, MGMT). I especially love Tame Impala (Kevin Parker) and was excited to hear that he was actually coming to the U.S. to do some stadium shows to support his new album. He rarely tours and I will actually be near Brooklyn for those groups of shows….🤔
The full album comes out Oct. 17th but early reviews describe it as leaning more into Australian rave/EDM, which has me a little worried. I really love the dreamy, psychedelic moodiness of his previous albums and they are usually in constant rotation for me. There are two singles out now and I actually really like End of Summer, which is definitely more dancey. I’m excited to hear the rest of the album.
