Tame Impala

Conceived by Kevin Parker, the Australian band Tame Impala spent a decade subverting expectations and mutating their sound in fascinating ways. The band's 2010 debut album Innerspeaker was a huge, loud guitar rock album dipped in swirling psychedelic colors. By decade's end Parker was collaborating with some of the biggest artists on Earth (Kanye, Travis Scott) The band was selling out stadiums and tons of records.

Innerspeaker was Tame Impala's first full-length album in 2010; it was nominated for many awards in Australia including ARIA Album of the Year. Innerspeaker was a less-guitar-heavy, far weirder album than Lonerism. Tame Impala were again winners of the J Award for Album of the Year in 2012. ‘Currents’ saw their sound expanded to include more up-tempo dance music-informed tracks. Tame Impala’s fourth record, The Slow Rush was released in 2020, the band's first with producer Ronson & also their first in-store release since 2013's Late Night Feelings.
