About Tame Impala

Tame Impala is the moniker of Australian musician, songwriter, and producer Kevin Parker, an artist whose sonic explorations have captivated the world. What began as Parker’s solo project in the late 2000s has evolved into a formidable live act renowned for its intricate production, psychedelic textures, and Parker’s distinctive vocal delivery. His music masterfully blends elements of psychedelic rock, pop, disco, and electronic music, creating a sound that is both timeless and distinctly contemporary. Parker’s meticulous attention to detail in the studio is legendary, with each Tame Impala album being a fully realised artistic statement. His early EPs and debut album, Innerspeaker (2010), immediately garnered critical acclaim for their retro-futuristic vibe and fuzz-laden guitar riffs.

However, it was with Lonerism (2012) that Tame Impala truly broke through. This critically lauded album introduced the world to hits like “Elephant,” a thunderous, riff-driven anthem, and the ethereal, introspective “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards.” The subsequent album, Currents (2015), marked a significant shift, leaning more into synthesizers, R&B influences, and pop sensibilities, while retaining Parker’s signature psychedelic core. This transition cemented Tame Impala’s universal appeal, yielding massive global hits such as “The Less I Know the Better,” a disco-infused earworm that became an instant classic, and the emotionally resonant “Let It Happen.” 2020’s The Slow Rush continued this evolution, exploring themes of time and memory with lush production and even more sophisticated electronic arrangements, featuring standout tracks like “Borderline” and “Lost In Yesterday.” Live, Tame Impala transforms into a powerhouse ensemble, translating Parker’s complex studio creations into a euphoric, multi-sensory experience that has earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting live acts on the planet.
