A kaleidoscopic work that refracts several strains of lysergic rock music beamed in from the sun-blanched 60s and an effortless, Beatlesesque melodicism... Kevin Parker's effusive songwriting and guitar talents are magnified to the nth degree on this mind-expanding trip.
A bounding leap forward in Parker's brand of psychedelic pop, Lonerismencapsulates a wide-screen worldview liberally doused with optimism, synthesized tropicalia, hits of dreamy melancholy and an unflinching willingness to experiment without forfeiting big hooks and big pop songs.
