Tame Impala [Modular Studio Session]

[@schrodingerscat3912]

Apocalypse Dreams is a legitimate miracle. this song is like Claire De Lune. a gift that ascending down from some higher order by some divine intervention, through Kevin Parker's thoughts and maybe a joint or two

[@vicarnti]

@NetSurfer69 i get that sometimes too like if i listen to psychedelic music or i hear a powerful message my brain tingles its like my third eye opens

Would agree, it's like a breakthrough and to this day their greatest song.

it almost feels like kevin sings apocalypse dreams with slightly more passion than usual in this performance. also, i love how much the bass shines here!

[@RichardAllanIImusic]

Easily one of the greatest bands of the moment. A band that makes me proud to be making music in the 21st century. A band that reminds us our generation will not be forgot. 'Lonerism' is so futuristic, the world doesn't know what's hit it yet.

[@ivanignac]

I wish Kev's mic settings were always like this live. It's perfect. Most of the performances I've seen around KZbin, you could barely make out his vocals.

Ken Roberts he's sill using the VE20 here... almost a rare instance cause he switched to the roland space echo when he toured lonerism. this is an exception

[@roach9397]

While Lonerism is my favorite album of the discography I don’t know if I’d call it Tame Impala’s irrefutable golden age, both Currents and Slow Rush are really cool and innovative. And as far as we know the best is yet to come.

Reencarnation of The Beatles and Pink Floyd, these three songs are instant classics. I hope Kevin takes this sound again for the new Album.

[@1stcomment700]

Lmao. About the new sound...it's still pretty good tho

[@kebab_boi]

The new sound is actually kind of a combination of Lonerism and Currents based on what I've heard on the teaser song. Don't expect much of it though. Kevin is mostly going for that lush dream pop sound. But if sounds a little bit more polished and more retro infused version of Currents.

[@ljcupra]

manvilfer damn i was hoping so too. however, i was not disappointed w tsr. kevin will come full circle eventually though

[@thevvvvoooo]

I have eight hundred albums and listened perhaps three times as many albums, and I can say that this album is in the best 5%. I was afraid that they arnt being able to play these masterpiece live but they managed... For me it will bee next step to play entire album as Pink Floyd did with their Wall ...

Yeah the drummer is now playing a synthesizer and they got a new guy to play the drums. All members are only for live shows and appearances though. Kevin Parker - the singer - makes it all by himself in the studio and gets some to help him mix the final product.

Nothing about this is 'new' or innovative. I'm not denying the awesomeness that is Tame Impala but the origin of their sound started over 50 years ago. Just looking at their equipment should hint at that! It's an excellent revival and I love what they are doing.
