It’s a shock, but in a good way, overflowing with deft production trickery, caressing Daft Punk croons and tightly marshalled bursts of guitar. Parker follows that bombshell with a dreamy, summer-scented interlude in ‘Nangs’, and another pair of walloping pop tunes in ‘The Moment’ and ‘Yes I’m Changing’. Once again, swooning synths are the order of the day, with the latter (key line: “ There’s a world out there and it’s calling me/It’s calling you too”) especially a work of dazzling beauty the layer-cake arrangement suggesting Parker as a natural heir to Brian Wilson’s studio wizardry.Īt which point, we should probably bring up the elephant in the room, which is that, erm, there is no ‘Elephant’ in the room. Fuzzed-out guitars simply aren’t where Parker’s head is at now, which strikes us as a fair trade-off from a producer pushing at the outer reaches of his talent. From the crisp, hip-hop accenting on the drums to the full-bodied bass and vivd synths, ‘Currents’ is an audiophile’s wet dream. ‘Eventually’, a heartbreak anthem that may or may not be about Parker’s split from Melody’s Echo Chamber’s Melody Prochet, opens with an flurry of guitar chords, before promptly swerving into synth-pop.
