If Shuggie Otis and John Lennon had a baby it would be Tame Impala. Master minded by songwriter producer Kevin Parker his project combines the things I love most about these influential artists, makes them his own, and hits the spot.
This week's track is "The Less I Know The Better" from 2015's Currents LP. The song is centered around a super catchy and funky bass line which pulses and propels through the whole song with a simple yet groovy drum part, sparse guitars, and layers of synth. As always the vocals are soulful, spacy, and perfectly backed up by the track. This is one of my favorites on this record and in their catalog.
With so much angst and chaos going around it's nice to take a step back and listen to something that just feels good. Enjoy!

About The Curator - Danny Gordon
Danny's love affair with music started around the time he could walk. He spent countless hours in front of the record player going through his parents collection and experimented with playing violin, piano, and guitar before finding his voice on the bass in his teens.
Danny began playing in local bands in Los Angeles while studying music, eventually landing at Berklee College of Music in 1998. Following his graduation in 2001 Danny returned home and continued his career as a recording and touring bassist, most notably working with former STP singer Scott Weiland.
Danny continues to stay active in the local scene and is a devoted father teaching his children about the music he loves.
