Directed by Colby Richardson, Alec O'Hanley, and Molly Rankin
Lyrics:
he's a very online guy
he likes to hit reply
he's incredibly vigilant
hair with the feathered wings
he likes to pull the strings
it's incredibly visible
we all know everything that he says and does
leave your location on and just follow the buzz
he's only one filter away
he's only one follow one filter away
he's a very online guy he types his cool replies
he's incredibly animal
front of the wedding trains
he laps up all domains
and he loves a patio
he's only one flicker away
he's only one photo one filter away
like a thinning wave what was it supposed to be?
the truth is i'm afraid of sudden change
but when you're close to me does anyone notice?
life disintegrates what was it supposed to be?
the truth is i'm afraid to turn away
but when you're ghosting me does anyone notice?
he's only one filter away
he's only one photo one flicker away
he's only one photo one follow one filter away
he's a very online guy

@ Yeah, that’s just how it goes. Tame Impala was my favorite band for years until the third album, Currents. It’s the most popular one, but I think it sucks lol. Imagine how many people were mad when the Beatles went from writing old love songs to psychedelic drones. Still, this might be my new favorite song of theirs.

Holy shit the layering and mixing of this track is fucking phenomenal. Synths sound so beautifully ethereal, I adore the drum mixing in this, especially towards the end, whatever they used to create that cymbal sound is crazy, almost sounds like static but I love it, harmonies are great as always. Can't wait for the album!
