Additional InformationThe band's fourth album delves smoothly into elegant disco, echoing chillwave, and Madchester beats while also dealing with serious lyrical concerns and big emotions.
Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Parker still sings like a Bee Gee with the soul of Bowie’s Major Tom, floating above his thick disco, funk, and trip-hop beats, beautifully manicured synth textures and easeful Yacht-soul melodies.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Woozily gorgeous, often enthralling and sometimes surprising, THE SLOW RUSH, then, marks a further creative departure even if it contains the most fundamental components of the sound Parker began developing as a lonely teenager...", "'Breathe Deeper' is a funkified sigh of relief. Reflective closer 'One More Hour' perfectly caps the album, drifting listeners through various stages of Parker’s journey of time and love.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "This is a 57-minute flex of every musical muscle in Parker’s body. Crunchy guitars are largely absent, but we’re left with something far more intriguing -- a pop record bearing masterful electronic strokes.", "Parker's pure musicianship shines through with his latest offering, proving once again why the superstar likes of Travis Scott, Lady Gaga, Kanye West and more are clamoring to work with him.", "THE SLOW RUSH promises just as much swirling apprehension and raging progressive psychedelia as the last three.", "Kevin Parker takes a breath and eases into a smoother psychedelic sound. Even without the adrenaline-filled highs, the compositions are as rich and thoughtful as ever.", "Parker turns his eye toward dancehalls, replacing fuzzy guitars and impressive percussion with bouncy piano and dance-y synths.", "A head-spinning mix of laid back soft-rock smoothness with pulse-racing disco urgency -- which sounds like it could just as easily be the proper follow-up to Supertramp's BREAKFAST IN AMERICA as their own prior LP."
