Band: Tame Impala
Album: Lonerism
Label: Modular Recordings
The Australian psychedelic rock band Tame Impala is back with their second album, two years after their previous release of Innerspeaker. Their unique sound of psych guitar riffs and echoing vocals brings a style of old school meets new. A modern album that would appeal to fans of the Pink Floyd and late 60′s early 70′s rock era, but with a fresh dreamy take. Singer and songwriter, Kevin Parker, brings a haunting voice similar to John Lennon–and when I say similar I mean a straight reincarnation. Tracks such as “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” and “Be Above It” give off Beatles inspired vibes, while “Elephant” and “Mind Mischief” delivers a heavier “stoner rock” feel. The 57 second track “She Just Won’t Believe Me” even reminds me of a lighter version to Ozzy Osbournes’s intro in “Mr. Crowley.”
