Check it out! Pretty cool. I'm not that into Tame Impala's earlier stuff but I LOVED Currents, and that's the sort of vibe he brings here.

I love Tame Impala, but never would have expected Kevin Parker to remix a CH song in a million years. I like this a lot.
I've got this friend who is really into Mac de Marco, Tame impala and King Gizzard and the Lizard wizard and he really doesn't like anything Finn. One by one his heroes work with Crowded house.
So the next single will probably feature King Gizzard
I reckon we r seeing what liam is bringing to the band ... his contemporaries and friends playing around with his dad’s music to generate some street cred with the cool kids... and thus a new generation of kids will have awareness of the crowdies / finn music story.
personally i dont see the upside in putting neil’s voice thru a vocoder after he’s inhaled helium and had the tape sped up to sound like a chipmunk.
I think its been established over a few years he doesnt have too bad a voice.
It’s a no from me.

Oh come on, that’s a bit narrow. The idea, I think, is to treat the voice like any other instrument...run it through guitar pedals and mixing plugins, mess with it, make it into something new. That’s what Kevin Parker does with his own stuff so I expected nothing less here. We already have the normal version with clear vocals, anyway.
It’s a “no” from me too. I didn’t expect to like it and indeed I did not. Speeding up Neil’s voice is super annoying to listen to. I think I could like a remix in this style, but it’s gotta still sound like Neil Finn. This vocal could be anybody.
If people don't like it because they miss Neil's voice, to each their own. I'm just saying, that's a complete misunderstanding of the genre we're in here and not a reasonable expectation when Tame Impala remixes your track. Kind of like complaining that the vocal is missing from a string quartet version of the song...okay, but you were never gonna get that lol
The unknown mortal orchestra version is also really nice.
Neils voice is not completely at home in the track. Perhaps the vocal have been replaced by the singer of the unknown mortal orchestra. But all in all its a great version. Especially like that it rocks harder.
I think it's silly what they did with Neil's voice . I think Tame Impala could have done a great job on this , but the minute Neil's voice comes in sounding like Alvin , I'm afraid I can't take it seriously ...
