As I streamed the track, the fear subsided and I was back in 2012 - flowing and getting lost in Kevin Parker's meticulous attention to detail; casually mixing and manipulating sounds to complement his sometimes enigmatic lyrics. Except this time, despite the bloops and blorps of producing, one thing was glaringly clear.
