Comment: by listening to this 4-track issue by the American combo Terrible Terrible I am tempted by the hypothesis – if Terrible Terrible`s issue Fail Better or the follow-up Get The New Computer were produced by Tame Impala and in turn Tame Impala`s Currents were issued by Terrible Terrible then which album of them were more popular ultimately? In fact, my intention to ask in that way is all about outright subjectivity with regard to the popularity within the music business. I guess Terrible Terrible would have been an amazing pop act if they had a solid promotional team behind them. However, let’s enjoy this fabulous, effortlessly moving soul/Americana/art pop/dream pop/slowcore outing where sophisticated rhythms and poignant electronic threads are mingled seamlessly into a harmonious whole. It is not muzak, there is no possibility to consider it in that way altogether. Any second on it seems to be thoroughly reasoned yet the flow is wondrous without any pockmarks. It is a perfect congruence between thousands of sonic bits, which in turn is a platform to new mental configurations to be cropped up. Additionally, let’s listen to Currents, and Get The New Computer either.
