Celebrating ten years since the release of this seminal album with music from 2015 all day, plus hear Currents in full throughout the day alongside voicenotes from those it inspired. Plus we'll be playing out a R1 session of Huw's with Lana Del Rey from 2015.

Plus another quiz from Huw's Music Quiz Generator, giving one of you the opportunity to win a Music Sounds Better With Huw pinbadge. And Huw declares that your evening has begun with a special 2015 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Run playlist at 5 o'clock.

Released on in July 2015, Tame Impala’s third album Currents went on to dominate all the end of year lists, and became a mainstay on the radio and festival sound systems all through that summer, and beyond.

To celebrate its tenth birthday, alongside playing a huge range of music from that year, we’ve dug out some classic Kevin Parker interviews from the archive, plus you’ll hear from his contemporaries, collaborators and fans, revealing why they think he’s such a genius, and what it is about the album that made it so special. With Mark Ronson, Pond, Jane Weaver, Antony Szmierek, Shura, plus more.

Head to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to catchup with everything from the day, as well as to listen to a special programme that brings together the album and all the voicenotes together in one handy listen. Just search Tame Impala in Sounds.
