At dawn, with little fanfare, psychedelic rock wonders Tame Impala revealed a brand new, eight-minute long track entitled “Let It Happen”.
Representatives for the band have stressed that this new swirling synth-led adventure is not the first single from the band’s forthcoming album, the follow-up to 2012’s Lonerism, but instead a track just for fans. There’s evidently plenty of them as well, with the initial release causing the band’s website to crash. Everything is back online now and “Let It Happen” is being offered as a free download in exchange for your email address. You can also stream it below.
The nearly 8-minute song has heavier lean towards the electronic compared to their previous stuff as the group’s keyboardist Jay Watson told Faster Louder in an interview, building on the band’s signature psych-rock sound.
There’s still no word on an official release date for the new record, but the release of this new single, which is their first new music in three years since 2012’s Lonerism, gives us reason to be excited and indicates that the time may be drawing close.
