The interview was conducted while Parker was putting the finishing touches on the album and just before “Let It Happen” was released.

Below is an excerpt from that Q&A (conducted by Matt Fink), in which Parker talks about the inspiration behind Currents’ opening track and first single, “Let It Happen” (which you can also stream below). The digital version of the magazine (for iPads/iPhones) also contains a bonus Q&A with Parker, sections of the interview not found in the print cover story. Pick up a copy now to read the first interview with Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker about Currents. Tame Impala are on the cover of Under the Radar‘s current print magazine. Tame Impala have so far released four songs from their upcoming third album, Currents, but they have now finally confirmed a July 17 release date (on new label Interscope) and have released the tracklist (find that below, along with their upcoming tour dates).
