Tame Impala Live @ The Metro

April 25th, 2010

YES! Another amazing live Youtube show! From the same dude who recorded for our viewing pleasure TI at Manning Bar. This is an amazing show as well… and… it’s a sneak peak into Innerspeaker, making it even more important. Enjoy.

01- Desire Be Desire Go (with weird intro and a little different style but not much different at all)-

02- Sundown Syndrome-

03- Solitude Is Bliss (AHHHHHGHGHASUIDHFf HOLY CRAP!)-

04- Skeleton Tiger + Half Full Glass of Wine-

Great stuff. I hope you all enjoyed listening to this… and maybe it’ll keep you satisfied until Innerspeaker gets here!

TAME IMPALA – INNERSPEAKER

DEBUT ALBUM OUT MAY 21 & NATIONAL TOUR

** Tickets On Sale Thu Mar 18 **

May 15 – The Metro / SYDNEY
http://www.metrotheatre.com.au & 02 9550 3666

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.
