I've just found out this was released, but it's better than Phase One. It's got some more of that funky sex music he does best.
52Tame Impala
Currents


Starts strong but loses focus and everything sounds the same.
53Torche
Restarter

1000 X's & O's alone makes this worth the money. Such a good track!

Alpha


Cool stuff as always, but released too late (December 20) and it's the first in the series of 3 EPs. I dislike this EP trend.
58Triptonus
Triptonus


Rotor meets Colour Haze with lots of percussion.
