Neon Genesis Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 A couple of days ago I came across this band that tottaly got me blown away! And it appears that it was just the right time for me to discover them since they have just released their second LP! Both of their albums are AMAZING! Can't think of a modern day band who'd start off with such an impressive debut album and an even more challenging follow up! If you haven't heard them yet, then stop what you are doing and get their ALBUM! or atleast check one of their songs on you-tube or soundcloud! Their sound and groove is a mixture of the 60s Sgt. Pepper era Beatlesque psychedelic rock, Dream Pop and Beat PLUS a lot of synths and analog electronic music fill-ins. The lead vocalist not just sounds like John Lennon, he is CHANNELING HIM! They've reminded me of Peter, Bjorn and John at first but as I listened to the whole album I realized that Tame Impala was something far more ambitious and pretentious. To put it simple, for me they are an eaqually important discovery just as The Black Keys, Astra and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. A band that seems to have time travelled from the 60s\70s into our time, YET with a style and sound of their own which is far more complex and original than a blind imitation of the oldies vibe that a lot of bands nowadays try to pull off. To summ it up, Postmodernism reigns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Genesis Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Geez, are you people serious? What, haven't you heard anything about these guys? Don't know about you, but I just can't get enough of them! It's the next best thing to ever happen to modern Rock music after The Black Keys...imho Oh wait... I think I've already said that before somewhere, somewhen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reswati Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 They are very nice, I bought their first lp 2 years ago already, still have to get the second on vinyl. The band has been discussed here before by several people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Genesis Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Really? I made sure I searched the forums for any Tame Impala threads before starting this one... weird. But anyway! Yeah, they are amazing! I've ordered their albums on vinyl, the Innerspeaker has arrived a couple of days ago, still waiting for Lonerism! The quality of vinyl is very good! Unlike Black Country Communion...was a total dissapointment for me...=( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reswati Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Here they are: http://forums.ledzep...__fromsearch__1 http://forums.ledzep...__fromsearch__1 I like their Beatle-ishness, and yes, the vinyl is thick good quality as it should be.

Neon Genesis Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Word! I absolutely agree! PS. Well yeah, there were those two topics dedicated to a particular song...but since technically there was no dedicatedTame Impala (band) thread, I thought I'd start this one. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirchzep27 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 With the song I've heard on the radio lately, elephant, it has a cool sabbath, John Lennon vocal combo goin on. I've sampled some live stuff on YouTube also and this band, with the flaming lips, should be a very good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yes! Tonight's the night of the Flaming Lips/Tame Impala concert. I hope they do the song they collaborated on last year, "Children of the Moon": If you didn't get Tame Impala's album "Lonerism", you should. You can preview the album here: Bonus song "Led Zeppelin": http://youtu.be/Q0yYWEXqTAg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Easily one of the highlights from Tame Impala's set the other night at the Greek Theatre. "It Is Not Meant to Be": "Half Full Glass of Wine" was another great jam from the other night, but nobody has posted a clip on YouTube yet. But this performance of the song from this year's Glastonbury Festival will give you an idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
