OMG thank you!!!!!!

u be so high cause u the goat on the mountain appreciate it g

Track 2 is actually crazy??? That has so much potential as a re-work. Someone get Kevin on the phone NOW

[@geraldA1sauce]

also bless you for sharing this 🙏🏿

[@SlamJamMusic]

working on it 😅

[@MrEucrow]

oh yes, that is the awesome old tame impala sound we would all die for :)

[@eloyente_]

Sounds like his work on Melody's Echo Chamber. Listen it, you'll love that

[@mty2889]

It feels more like innerspeaker oriented

[@cmn1108]

Track 9 is insane, I can't get over how good it is.

[@colorsofthelost1479]

The others are so much better though. The psychedelic rock is so much better compared to the pop

[@stephenphilippslfcfan]

Yeah it is good I like it, not sure it has same energy as the others in these demos for me. But thats alright still do like it

[@tompayton84]

Lonerism imo is Kevin’s greatest work ever, it’s a hybrid between the old style psych rock of innerspeaker and the more digital synthesised style of currents but blended to a perfect outcome. Very introspective psychedelic work ✌️

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Yes I honestly think Lonerism was his best but then I thought Currents was his masterpiece because of the breakup nature of the album

[@coldacre]

100% Lonerism. by far the most creative musically.

This album matches the vibe of Paris during springtime/summer it's actually fascinating. I can see it through the music, it's full of this vibe

[@MixMasterSplinter]

🎉awesome

[@nicholasking5734]

Just imagining Kevin sitting in his messy ass room making this shit blows my mind.. I also have a messy ass room in a music collective house, and I relate to this wayyyy too much

[@AvAfanfromfrance]

@@nicholasking5734 I know what it's like to be in Paris in springtime and summer, I can assure you that this album is perfect for it. If anybody has the opportunity to experience it, I recommend it. From the afternoon in the park or the seine border, to the evening at the bar and the night at a party in an apartment, to the next morning and the feeling of the city waking up to a sunny new day. It's a bubble and this music is perfect for that echo chamber

you say that cuz you know it was made in Paris in the summer

Track 2 just whips you away to a psychedelic dream world 🤤

[@KRUSTYskates]

The dialog from 3:19 Melody: "Oh is this tonight?" Kevin "Yea just recording it--" M: "Omg whose is this?" K: "idk" M: "have you ever heard of this director? This guy I worked with like the producer of the Beatles, Allen, --- It was around the same time that he was -- like ahead of his time. So into it. Didnt mean to interrupt you" K: "haha its alright" M: "Gumby do you own this? Or do you know anyone who does?" Gumby: "Idk" M: "Man if you ever see the copy of The Holy Mountain floating around I would shits insane" G: "Yeh. Heck Yea. Play it again Kev"

[@jamesharper5850]

Thats not Melody. Melody is French and speaks with a french accent, thats someone else, an Australian friend.

[@Chris-kv9uf]

he released retina show in full and a song called sidetracked on his offical page.well prob get the masters when the box set comes out!:)

[@heytrevas]

Lonerism is the greatest album of all times in the history of music.

[@_thiisguy_]

Track 9 has been on loop since forever ✨

[@JannaPelle]

Is it crazy to say that the unreleased Lonerism sketches and B-sides might be my favorite Tame era ever? Listening to these, it's so obvious Kevin was already thinking about Currents, but wasn't quite there yet. Retina Show may be my favorite song ever, but damn, tracks 9 & 10 on this sketch album... there's something different about them. I love listening to this whole album of sketches in its entirety while driving. I know people are saying these should have been full-length songs (and they're good enough to be), but I personally love how short they are. You miss them as soon as they're over and have to listen to the whole album again, just to get a taste of everything. It's genius.

[@Jason77336]

Same, I think track 6, 9 and 10 are very Lonerism

[@unmaskscience111]

I like it a lot too

[@misticaaa]

Track 9 is my favorite, I can’t stop playing it. He needs to release it

[@salvage20]

I actually just released an extended version of that track. Not as good as Kevin would make it, but I put my efforts in it. Check it out if you want, I'd like to know what you think about it :)

[@vaughnsigal4560]

I agree, if one of his throwaways being better than most releases these days doesn't show his talent I don't know what will.

[@FrazerSmithsChannel]

Wow, hearing 'Enders Toi' taking shape almost brought a tear to my eye. That song is wonderful.

[@dorero6622]

I am 15 rn and if I am older and I think back at my childhood I think track 1 is the best background sound😮.

[@curiouslyunruffled]

Track 9 clearly explains that Kevin has always had the fascination and talent to create pop music. Love the track, I wish he would recreate it for a new album!!! ❤

[@colorsofthelost1479]

It’s ok ig but the psychedelic rock is so much better.

[@J.K.Moerkved]

Track 4 actually sounds like an early version of “Taxi’s Here”

[@drakegomer]

These songs smack… BUT I understand why he didn’t put some of them on the record. A lot of these unheard demos feel like Kevin was in the infant stages of conceptualizing ideas for Currents. I’m so lucky that my favorite artist releases his demos like this.
