FREMANTLE, AUSTRALIA—Leaving sober fans of the psychedelic music project utterly devastated, a shocking forensic report of recording studios across Australia confirmed Friday that musician Kevin Parker was under the influence of mind-altering substances while recording Tame Impala's acclaimed 2015 album Currents.

"I am completely dumbfounded that the man who made ‘Nangs’ was using drugs," said Theodore Mitchell, a music critic from lesser news outlet Pitchfork. "I expected a record like Currents to have been produced with the total mental clarity of sobriety, not through the hazy shroud of magic mushrooms, cocaine, and cannabis. The fact that we are only learning of this after 11 years truly shows how far Kevin Parker went to hide his enjoyment of illegal substances by creating psychedelic music as a cover."

Following the report's publication, fans on Reddit and other social media platforms began to speculate if other Tame Impala records like InnerSpeaker, Lonerism, The Slow Rush, and Deadbeat were similarly created under the influence of psychedelic substances. Furthermore, listeners began re-examining tracks throughout the project’s discography, questioning if songs like "Lucidity," "Mind Mischief," and "Ethereal Connection" were subtle hints to Mr. Parker's drug use.

"I can't believe this, you're telling me the one guy who makes psychedelic music likes psychedelics?" said Daisy Webb, a distraught Tame Impala fan, pausing her headphone playback of "Is It True" in disbelief. "This is my worst nightmare! I've been a fan of Kevin Parker since ‘Sundown Syndrome,’ and all of this time he's been secretly snorting, smoking, and consuming illicit substances to make these utter masterpieces? He played us all for fools. Honestly, the less I know the better."

At press time, a similar forensic report carried out in recording studios across the United Kingdom revealed that The Beatles secretly created almost their entire discography while under the influence of mind-altering substances.
