Tame Impala in The Rolling Stone

April 30th, 2010

Recently, there was a 6 page article in The Rolling Stone on Tame Impala. I’ve already read it and it’s a very interesting read, with some info on the inner workings of the band, some history, and a look into Innerspeaker. Now, if you don’t want to go find a copy yourself, lucky for you, the article in its entirety has been scanned and uploaded… courtesy of turdface.

They’re building up the hype! It’s getting closer and closer, Tame fans… now all that’s left is album art, track listing, maybe some more clips… and then a rhythmic and colorful explosion of summertime psychedelia will hit the shelves and will be blasted by all for the entire season.

TAME IMPALA – INNERSPEAKER

DEBUT ALBUM OUT MAY 21 & NATIONAL TOUR

** Tickets On Sale Thu Mar 18 **

May 15 – The Metro / SYDNEY

Modular is proud to announce that West Coast sonic wanderers Tame Impala will unveil their debut album InnerSpeaker on May 21, and are taking to the road in May for a National Tour.

It will be the first time much of the record is played live to an unsuspecting public and will showcase the gloriously dazzling results of one of planet earth’s most exciting bands absolutely going to town on their debut long player.

Following on from their debut, self-titled EP, InnerSpeaker is Tame Impala’s chance to paint a far more extensive picture than before, and sure enough it redrafts the entire Tame Impala world as we knew it, into an explosive cosmic wonderland of ecstatic harmony and perfectly accessible journeys into inner space.

Recorded and produced by the band’s own Kevin Parker with Death In Vegas’s Tim Holmes on the engineer duties, in an enormous mansion with 180 degree views of the Indian Ocean in the middle of butt**** nowhere a few hours south of Perth, InnerSpeaker is ensconced with a kind of inspired vastness not dislike the place it was made.

It was then mixed in a completely different kind of nowhere, a log cabin surrounded by snow and deer in upstate New York, by renowned sonic maverick Dave Fridmann (MGMT / Flaming Lips).

Visit http://www.youtube.com/tameimpalamusic for your first glimpse inside the debut album, where magic and music abounds – with plenty more where that came from.

The resultant record will first be revealed with the single, Solitude Is Bliss, a joyous summertime romp through fields of honeyed harmony and crispy good times and is just the very tip of the amorphous cosmos that is InnerSpeaker.

Let’s see, so currently, we now have a brief 1 1/2 minute clip of what is most likely the single, Solitude is Bliss. We also have the release date, May 21. And an InnerSpeaker tour in which they’ll be playing the album’s songs. And now the track listing and preorder. That’s a lot of info! Now all that’s left, I think, is to wait…
