Tame Impala – Lonerism [2 LP, Black Vinyl]

Tame Impala – Lonerism

The 2012 release, ‘Lonerism’ from the Australian Alt-Psych rockers, Tame Impala. Kevin Parker (vocals/guitar) and Dominic Simper (bass) formed Tame Impala as 13-year-olds in Perth, Australia back in 1999, sticking to bedroom recordings until 2007, when Jay Watson joined them on drums and backing vocals.

Tame Impala’s sound was pure late ’60s, but wasn’t the sound of any specific band from the era. They were as likely to be channeling the Nazz as the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Cocooned away inside walls of Psychedelic Fuzz in Western Australia, they re-created their preferred period one song at a time with the aid of gear and production techniques that sounded like they hadn’t been dusted off since 1968.
