Tame Impala anyone?

Mcblahflooper94 · Nov 2, 2013

They're an incredible Australian psychedelic-prog-techno-dream pop band. Anyone familiar with them? They're practically all I've been listening to for a half a year now!

^first album

^their second album

a couple singles of theirs:

The song that's stuck in my head right now (by them)

What do you guys think?

They're good, yeah. I prefer Lonerism over Innerspeaker.

Tame Impala are a great band. Only heard Lonerism but it's bloody brilliant

I used to, but then I really got into the more experimental nature of Lonerism, plus the songwriting is much more relatable to me.

Because when I was shown them, it was their music videos on YouTube and it just seemed way too trippy for me.

Sounds like late 60s / early 70s rock. And thats pretty cool.

HAL 9000 · Nov 20, 2013

I looove Tame Impala

I go through a lot of music phases and right now this is the band I've been hooked on.

Excellent band. "Solitude is Bliss" should be the introvert's anthem.
If you are interested in similar bands, Temples also has a sort of psychedelic rock tinge to their work as well, perhaps a bit more Beatles inspired though. Diiv, MGMT, and The Horrors are also a bit similar.

Funny you say that, I made that exact comment on a youtube vid a couple months ago

Reviving this thread a little, but might anyone know Kevin Parker's MBTI? I think he might be ISFP, maybe INFP, or ISTP. Here's an interview:

I'm confident in saying he's I**P, introverted for sure, considering he wrote a song about being one.. heh. Here's a copy of the lyrics of my favorite TI songs lyrically. Reading Music To Walk Home By, I'm thinking INFP, but I could still see ISFP. Anyone want to lend opinion??

I love their song apocalypse dreams. Love this band.

Subtle Murder · Jan 23, 2014

Even though I am Australian, I hadn't heard of this band until my brother introduced me to their stuff. They're amazing. They give me so many feels. I really love psychedelic rock and wish more bands would experiment with this sound.

Wellsy · Jan 25, 2014

Been fortunate enough to see them live on two separate occasions at Meredith Music Festival.
I'm not heavily invested in them but I certainly enjoy their music enough that some of their songs have been played repeatedly for my enjoyment.

Momentz · Jan 25, 2014

I enjoy them, yes. But they seem like they're trying to hard to be another Beatles.
