Tame Impala’s new album, The Slow Rush, arrives this Friday, February 14. In anticipation of its release, frontman Kevin Parker sat down for an interview with Beat 1’s Zane Lowe during which he revealed how collaborating with Travis Scott helped shape his creative process.

“It was awesome. He’s so enthused by ideas,” Parker said about working with Scott. “He doesn’t waste time kind of doubting himself or doubting things. Which is extremely valuable, because you need that burst of conviction. I tried to take on some of that conviction when I’m working, because doubt and all that kind of stuff is poisonous in creativity.”

Back in October 2017, a photo surfaced of Parker and Scott in the studio with producer Frank Dukes:

These sessions spawned the duo’s first collaboration, “SKELETONS,” which appears on Scott’s 2018 album, ASTROWORLD.

Parker previously spoke with Billboard about how the song—which also features The Weeknd and Pharrell Williams—came together.

“It was over a long period of time and had a lot of sessions to it,” he said. “At some points, there were 10, 20 people in the room. You could just be there and hang out and not do anything for like an hour. And then something perks your ears up, and you can be like, ‘Oh yeah yeah, plug me in, I’ve got an idea.’ We’d go for hours until three in the morning.”

Elsewhere in the Beats 1 interview, Parker spoke about leaving his comfort zone to find inspiration. “I was doing things that made me uncomfortable just for the purpose of being creative because I’m the most creative when I’m uncomfortable,” he explained, before revealing that the band’s new song, “Breath Deeper,” was inspired by the experience of shopping while stoned.

In a recent interview with The Times, Parker broke down the meaning of The Slow Rush. “If you stare at the clock, it’s crawling along, but as soon as you get distracted, that’s when time overtakes you,” he said. “As humans we could do so much, but somehow time always gets the better of us. How does that happen?”

The Slow Rush marks Tame Impala’s first album since 2015’s Currents. It includes the pre-release singles “Lost in Yesterday," “Posthumous Forgiveness,” “It Might Be Time,” and “Borderline.”
