Tame Impala “It Is Not Meant To Be”

Tame Impala’s songs sound as though they have a destination, if not a clear direction. “It Is Not Meant To Be” seems to burrow down through layers of psychedelic sound, searching for some kind of center. It’s dizzying stuff but it doesn’t feel lost or confused, so it’s easy to have faith in their instincts. The bass is especially beautiful in this track — it’s the most driving and forceful element in the arrangement, but it has a soft, comfy tone. It’s the kind of bass line you could lie down on and take a nap.
