With The Slow Rush by Tame Impala being released on February 14th, 2020 fans had waited two years for the B-sides and remixes to be released as a new album. Coming out on February 18, 2022 fans finally got their expected remixes they have been waiting for. 

Having a remix with rapper Lil Yatchy, song “One More Year,” was one of the shocking remixes on this playlist. For die-heart fans of Tame Impala, it was exciting to see the blend of two different genres of music. It has been said from Lil Yatchy himself that he likes Tame Impala and was more than happy to make a remix with him for this EP. Most of the EP consists of remixes with various artists such as Maurice Fulton, a Four Tet, and Blood Orange version.

Single song “Patience” has made a comeback after being taken off of Apple Music and other streaming platforms, making many fans happy.

Six of the eight songs on the EP are songs fans have heard before, whether they were on The Slow Rush” album or being released as a single back in 2020. Fans were excited to be given the remixes of some of their favorite songs. Some of these remixes had been released in 2021 and fans have heard them already, but that does not make them any less better than the other remixes on the EP. 

With two unheard songs off the EP “The Boat I Row” and “No Choice” fans have had great things to say about them. Fitting the vibe of what Tame Impala is known for, it is a pleasant surprise to see these two new songs.
