Tame Impala

Every few years along comes a band that pops up from the land Down Under and blows the rest of the world away. While Perth’s Tame Impala have yet to play at the MTV Video Music Awards or soundtrack an iPod commercial, they’ve already set the blogosphere alight with their brand of “psychedelic hypno-groove melodic rock music” (that’s what they call it), along with plenty of accolades in their homeland of Australia, including “Album of the Year” from influential radio station Triple J for their full-length debut Innerspeaker. The album’s mind-bending blend of ethereal vocals, hazy guitars and blissed-out grooves have gained them a legion of admirers, including the likes of Noel Gallagher, Kasabian and fellow psychedelia enthusiasts MGMT, who took them out on their US tour. It’s amazing how many heads singer-guitarist-songwriter Kevin Parker and his bandmates Jay Watson, Dominic Simper and Nick Allbrook have turned in such a short time with a brief discography. Things can only get bigger from here. Links:
