As you probably know by now, Tame Impala’s third full-length album, Currents, easily one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year, is out later this month. The first reviews are already in for the band’s follow-up to 2012’s Lonerism and things are looking good.

We’ve been following the bread crumb trail leading to Currents for a while now, including the leak of the album’s release date and track-listing back in May. One of the songs that particularly piqued our interest was the second track on the album, simply titled ‘Nangs’.

We’ve covered nangs fairly extensively here at Tone Deaf, so naturally we were interested to hear this new Kevin Parker composition. Well, now we can, and you can too, thanks to a new behind-the-scenes video that takes fans into the making of Tame Impala’s latest album, set to the sounds of ‘Nangs’.

As Stereogum reports, this previously unheard track is another curve ball from an album that just keeps on throwing out surprises. It’s a short, hazy, interlude-like composition that’s heard right after the album’s opening track, ‘Let It Happen’, marked by shifting waves of psychedelic noise.

According to Stereogum, the preview video “includes some extra noise at the beginning that isn’t on the album track, and it cuts off a little before the album track”, but for all intents and purposes, this is pretty much the whole song that we’ll be hearing when the album drops on Friday, 17th July.
