Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, 'The Weather' is a concept album about the city of Perth, exploring themes of societal collapse, environmental anxiety, and cultural identity with a satirical edge. Sonically, it marks a significant shift towards polished synthpop and hypnagogic pop, integrating electronic textures and funk rhythms into their psychedelic framework. The album is both a vibrant, accessible pop record and a sharp piece of social commentary.
