About Tame Impala

Tame Impala is the brainchild of Australian multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter, and vocalist Kevin Parker. Emerging from Perth in the late 2000s, Tame Impala rapidly distinguished itself from the contemporary music scene with its distinctive fusion of psychedelic rock, disco, funk, and electronic music. Parker, who writes, records, performs, and produces all of Tame Impala’s music, crafts intricate sonic tapestries that are both deeply personal and universally resonant. His early work, particularly the debut album Innerspeaker (2010) and its follow-up Lonerism (2012), garnered critical acclaim for its lush production, hazy guitar riffs, and Parker’s signature falsetto.

The project truly exploded into the global consciousness with Currents (2015), an album that saw Parker embrace a more synth-heavy, pop-infused sound, yielding massive hits like “Let It Happen” and “The Less I Know The Better.” This pivotal record solidified Tame Impala’s status as a stadium-filling phenomenon, blurring the lines between indie darling and pop superstar. 2020’s The Slow Rush continued this evolution, exploring themes of time, memory, and the passage of life with Parker’s characteristic lyrical depth and sonic innovation. Notable hits that have defined Tame Impala’s career include the anthemic “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards,” the introspective “Eventually,” the euphoric “Borderline,” and the instantly recognisable bassline of “The Less I Know The Better.” Tame Impala’s live shows are legendary, renowned for their mesmerising light displays, immersive audio-visual experiences, and Parker’s captivating stage presence.
