‘Cause I’m A Man’ is one of four stellar already released singles from Perth outfit Tame Impala’s forthcoming Currents LP and has grabbed a huge amount of attention thus far in its own right. Written, performed, recorded produced and mixed by Kevin Parker in Fremantle, the single takes a step away from the soaring heights of March’s eclectic ‘Let It Happen’ release and into a new groove – the twisting and turning, R’n’B inspired bassline sets the tone for one of the more sombre moments recorded to tape for the project thus far. A tale of bitter remorse, laced with self awareness and yet somehow still stinging with a sense of uncompromising denial, Parker shines in a vocal sense on this one – it’s a standout for sure. The official video takes a sharp dive into a highly conceptual 3D world where seemingly anything goes. It’s totally bizarre yet visually so pleasing, but hey, what’d you expect?
