How TAME IMPALA Makes Music

It’s not so much that I’m impatient for new music by Tame Impala, I’m just really curious to hear what Kevin Parker does next. We’ll get a new album by Tame Impala… eventually.

This video essay covers the neo-psychedelic band Tame Impala. Speaking on the themes of their three released albums:
Innerspeaker (2010)
Lonerism (2012)
Currents (2015)
We'll dive into the mastermind behind the whole project, Kevin Parker.
Taking the intricacies of the psychedelic rock genre and combining it with the sugary melodies of modern day pop music, has made Tame Impala one of the most notable “indie” artists today. And that popularity is well earned as all three of Tame Impala’s LP’s have received universal acclaim with fans constantly juggling over which is their favourite. Every new release has moved Tame Impala’s sound forward, with the latest being the largest diversion yet. But before I can tell you more about Tame Impala and their music -- we need to talk about Kevin, Parker. He IS Tame Impala.

[@nimigeorge8089]

[@shiningdawn8578]

I put TI's music on my player in May2017. Even while tripping, I just couldn't connect to his music. Then, one day last December, I was quite stoned and I had a track from Currents come through on my shuffle. Holy crap! All of a sudden, he made sense to me. A trip with Lucy, a few weeks later, only served to confirm his genius to me. Shame it took so long for me to "feel" it, but that's kinda how I work. Looking forward to a new album from him.

[@billycollins6005]

I had a similar response circa 2013. I enjoyed songs like Elephant and Feels Like We Only Go Backwards but didn't initially gel with the idiosyncrasies of other songs. Fast forward to 2017... seeing them live on a whim with my friend Lucy basically changed my life. The show absolutely blew me away and I'd never experienced anything like it. I've been listening on repeat ever since and Tame is now my favorite artist of all time. Can't wait for new material!

[@ToutiAit]

Kevin literally made an album about "Time" who really does this now

[@christinahejny9520]

I think my favorite moment of Currents is New Person, Same Old Mistakes. After the weird psychedelic bridge, when the main riff kicks back in a million smaller medodies transports me to pure bliss. But the best thing about the song is the guitar riff in the verses right before each chorus. Kevin recorded an unplugged electric guitar. Every time I hear it I get blown away. Not only is it very creative and new (I haven't seen anyone else really do this), but it perfectly fits within the music's mood and tone. That's what Kevin is a master at: capturing a mood in a song and knowing the perfect sounds to fit that. Even if it was the same guitar but plugged into an amp, the song would not have significantly less emotion in it. His ingenuity with somehow selecting the perfect instrument, with the perfect timbre and settings, the perfect effects is like no other. Every song he records is so detailed and well thought-out.

[@Middle8]

You've summed it up perfectly.

[@meevil24]

I first heard New Person Same Old Mistakes in an advertisement for Atlanta Season 1 and next thing I knew, it became my favorite song on Currents

[@xfbhhhhh]

I think that is actually a banjo. Like a tribute for "walkie talkie - air" where they used it. And is one of Kevin favourite albums at least that is what he said. Red hot chili peppers used an unlugged guitar in 1991

[@mariahspapaya]

Chris Hejny new person is the most underrated song on currents. I’m pretty sure he used the synths to imitate an orchestra. Would love to hear it live with a full orchestra. Fucking mind blowing and an incredibly emotional song

[@stuartholden6163]

I always wondered how he got that effect for that part. Sounds like he's doing some pull-offs.

[@berettahh]

3 days ago i saw them live....ive never felt so euphoric. i cant listen to them without crying now. All my pain, suffering, love, feelings and emotions play out through Kevin’s music and i am SO thankful. He is so talented and a genius!

[@sf8274]

I live in Fremantle, where Kev lives. Nowadays he just DJs around town at small events and bars, often with his mates from Pond. I think he's just gonna do that for a while and when he feels ready or inspired enough start on another album. Although he's constantly been working on producing for other artists. My guess is Tame won't put out another album until at least 2020. I hope I'm wrong.

[@JiihaaS]

Personally I was expecting specific details about how he actually makes his music, but this seems to focus on Kevin Parker as a person and an artist. I liked it nevertheless.

[@MARQ23]

As Kevin Parker grows older and becomes more comfortable with album making, I think we will keep seeing an evolution of music styles as his future lineage of albums continue and for what style of music he will take on next, who knows; as long as it’s good music, I’m looking forward to it! As for the theme, it will most likely coincide with who he is now and who he wants to be much like currents, but more of what he has experienced after how he felt while making currents. Currents was more or less Kevin trying to accept a new version of himself and what emotions he felt during his post breakup. I really think he will focus on feeling more like an adult and responsible as well as having a newfound confidence and not so much the feeling of being self conscious. He also likes to record alone and perhaps we will see a dab of isolation once again as we’ve consistently seen in all his previous work.

Could I also suggest a video on Gotye sometime maybe? That man is an artist in the true sense of the word and I feel genuine music lovers were too quick to judge him because of his break-out track, the album it's from however is an absolute masterpiece IMO and his progression over the years has shown how much he's willing to explore musically. His tastes are as eclectic as they get and he's got a thirst for exploring new sounds and weird instruments that I haven't seen in anyone else.

i hope not, it's pretty hard to release 5 albums of notable value within in a year. sure, gizzard made 5 albums, but they come across as more 'sketches infused with exploration into other musical modalities' rather than 'wholesome albums', whereas kevin consistently releases brilliant full-fledged albums. this is why i would happily wait 2 years for a tame impala album, the quality over the quantity.

My dad played me Let It Happen when I was young quite often. Because of that, it’s practically imbedded into me and is in turn nostalgic to me. He is such a special musician who produces incredible music that is so groovy and atmospheric. I’m so glad I listened to the whole album as I’ve seen the cover a thousand times for that is so iconic. Legend. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥💖

[@LazyPlumber89]

What a great video man! Very well built

[@maybloomz]

his new album comes out 2/14/2020 ♥️♥️♥️

[@FitzMusic]

Your videos are pure inspiration for me. whenever I'm struggling to find energy to write new tunes for my band LOWERCASE committee, I watch your channel. Thank you.

[@Middle8]

That means a lot! I’m glad I could help your process in anyway, keep doing your thing 🤘🏼

[@whatsupmyboi8069]

I’m hoping for a heavier song on the next album, something like elephant or half full glass of wine but I also want softer stuff like let it happen and it feels like we only go backwards. A more guitar sound would be nice or a keyboard sound, I also think he should have more diverse sounds because on currents it all seems in the same genre and I wish Kevin would experiment more, not necessarily going to a more pop songs or rock but somewhere in between and every where at once But that’s just my opinion

[@Middle8]

He’ll have some rock sprinkled into a few tracks but I think Kevin’s moving towards disco and funk.

[@whatsupmyboi8069]

Middle 8 that’s exactly what I was thinking I’m really excited to hear Kevin’s rock/funk/psychedelic sounds I’m also happy that Kevin is a sonic innovator meaning he is creating a sound that I’ve never heard unlike bands like grata van fleet or foxygen( I love them both but they sound as if they were there 40 years ago) a also wanted to say I love what your doing keep it up

[@dougsburner5897]

Sometimes you have to understand that it flows better with the same overall vibe.

[@bauer444]

He might do country for his next album lol

[@Guitar-ym1qn]

yeah he went full on house music garbage. sad his earlier work was legendary

[@Billi_crow]

These videos are amazing, seriously high quality

[@kalebgordon8459]

Melody’s album (Kevin’s girlfriend in Paris) is also beautiful. He helped make it. Look up Melody’s echo chamber

[@basielu]

ex-girlfriend lol :(

[@bezenhappync]

You can really tell Kevin isn't involved in that project anymore after listening to the follow up

[@noodleharman]

what the heck they were dating

[@Bayo106]

@@bezenhappync yea her music after that was shite

[@diogomcamilo]

Loved every single part of the video! Thank you for this moment!

[@eliofinch1510]

The fact that I can relate to Kevin is nice no matter how sad it is.
