Tame Impala is an Australian psychedelic rock project led by multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, who writes, records, performs, and produces the music. As a touring act, Parker (guitar, vocals) plays alongside Dominic Simper (guitar, synthesiser) and some members of Australian psychedelic rock band Pond - Jay Watson (synthesiser, vocals, guitar), Cam Avery (bass guitar, vocals), and Julien Barbagallo (drums, vocals). Previously signed to Modular Recordings, Tame Impala is now signed to Interscope Records in the US, and Fiction Records in the UK.
Parker originally conceived of the project in Perth in 2007. After a series of singles and EPs, in 2010, the band released their debut studio album, Innerspeaker, which was certified gold in Australia and well received by critics. Their 2012 follow-up, Lonerism, was also acclaimed, reaching platinum status in Australia and receiving a Grammy Award nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. The band's third album, Currents, was released in July 2015, and like its predecessor, it won ARIA Awards for Best Rock Album and Album of the Year. Parker won the APRA Award for Song of the Year 2016 for Currents' first track, "Let It Happen". A fourth studio album, The Slow Rush, is scheduled to be released in 2020.
The origins of the act can be found in the Perth music scene. Parker played in a number of bands, one being the Dee Dee Dums, a rock duo that consisted of Parker (guitar) and Luke Epstein (drums). Tame Impala emerged in 2007 as a Kevin Parker home-recording project in this period and he posted a number of tracks on Myspace. This brought interest from a number of labels and eventually, he signed a worldwide deal with the independent Modular Recordings in July 2008. To transfer these recordings to a live-stage, Parker enlisted the help of Dominic Simper (bass) and Jay Watson (drums) and began playing at some local gigs.
On 2 January 2019, Tame Impala was announced as a headliner for the 2019 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. They also headlined the 2019 Primavera Sound festival, making them only the second Australian act to do so. Around the same time, Parker announced that he expected to release a new album during that summer.
On 21 March, Tame Impala released the single "Patience", and has teased new music on Instagram for the forthcoming album. They were the musical guest for Saturday Night Live on 30 March, with host Sandra Oh. On the show, the band performed "Patience" and a new song, "Borderline", which was released 12 April. On 25 October, Tame Impala revealed the title of their fourth studio album, The Slow Rush, set to be released on 14 February 2020. Three days later on 28 October, they released the song "It Might Be Time." On 3 December, Tame Impala released the single "Posthumous Forgiveness".
Josh Terry of Vice named Tame Impala his "Artist of the Decade" for the 2010s, writing, "No artist captured how genres cross-pollinated throughout the 2010s better than Tame Impala". He added: "In the age of streaming and the big-box festival bubble, Parker's discography seems factory-made for both a crowd of thousands and a chill night alone with a vibe-heavy playlist" and that "his music embodies the technology-driven sense of loneliness of this decade better than any of his peers".

Kevin Parker is one of the best artists of the last decade. There are not many who can do all this by them self. His music is the way pop should be, its magical. You really can see a development in his songs and he is a creative genius not only on the musical side. The cover arts and music videos are in a class of their own. Tame Impala really influenced me in the last years and brought me trough hard times. Looking forward to "The Slow Rush"

The Slow Rush is going to cast itself as probably one of the biggest Tame Impala albums to date centered around something equally as universal as loneliness: the concept of time and coming to grips with it’s continual passage. I’m really excited for what Kevin has in store for this next album.

[@noeperez4222]

Opening track One More Year "do you remember we were standing here a year ago" Closing Track One More Hour "I'm with you and I can roll into another year"

[@samkeller3747]

My favorite Tame Impala track is “New Person, Same Old Mistakes” because I personally love how Parker describes the feeling of having to move forward, avoid life’s obstacles, and make necessary decisions, even if it means sacrificing your own worth for certain people. Also that guitar melody and the overall atmosphere on the track is insane.

My favorite song is “it feels like we only go backwards” it’s first song that introduced me to Kevin. Although I don’t listen to him as much as I used to, I am interested to see what he does with this new record.

[@SubZero536]

Favorite song definitely has to be "Why won't they talk to me?". As being a loner myself not only the song but the whole album transmits a lot of the same thoughts.

[@1kvbo]

My favourite Tame Impala song is off Lonerism, "Nothing That Has Happened So Far Has Been Anything That We Could Control" The track is as much of a lyrical expression of Kevin's tendency towards overthinking as it is auditory expression which makes it pleasantly coherent for me, making it a song I relate to. I appreciate how the lyrics reveal the idea that rationalisation leads to rationalisation which would lead to the dismissal of finding some decisive and active/participative resolution, for Kevin this was one of the core points of his "lonerism", something he had to shake off to feel better. The instrumental section of the song clearly shows Kevin's overthinking in a spectacular way, and it sends shivers right down my spine. To some extent I can get inside Kevin's head through the plethora of sounds you hear and there's always a new sound to discover. To me, this is the most stimulating song he has made, and if you ever wonder what overthinking would sound like, I would say it would sound like this song.

[@camothies]

im fairly new to tame impala having found the band a little over a year ago, but their music has quickly become very near and dear to me as theyve become my favorite group. the music is absolutely hypnotic and i find myself listening to individual songs over and over for hours on end without ever getting tired of them, such as recently with the release of borderline. although i adore almost every song from kevin, i think it has to be "the moment" from currents that takes my number one. the first time i listened to the song, i was just staring my senior year of high school and simultaneously excited for and dreading the end of that period of my life. the mesmerizing repetition of the lines "its getting closer", unsure of whether thats a positive or a negative, made me completely fall in love with the song as it perfectly captured what i was feeling at the time. all in all, i love this music and it hits me emotionally in a way almost no other group can

I’m a 29 year old black man living in Montreal. I grew up with rap and the usual, then in a high school discovered rock and it’s whole spectrum. Stuck to the whole hardcore vibe but it never really felt genuine. I never felt like I belonged and all these years I was just trying to fit in, be part of the conversation, until a couple years ago I kinda went on my own, isolated myself from everyone I knew. Was trying to understand, define and redefine myself.... til a couple months ago I discovered Tame Impala’s Innerspeaker and the rest of his discography... that music came at such a perfect time. Helped reflect on myself. See things in a different perspective. Made me enjoy the outside and nature...and that’s mostly because of his sound. The lyrics made sense after carefully listening but just his sound was enough to catch me. One love If anyone’s reading this, I love you

Of course I have to go with 'The Less I Know The Better'. It blows me away that such an incredible sounding song can make me vibe so hard with the huge focus on the bass guitar and drum kit yet make me feel so overwhelmingly sad and isolated with the lyrics. Still blows me away today.

It's hard to pick, but my favourite Tame Impala song is Sundown Syndrome!

Fav song is feels like we only go backwards. Reason because it was my first ever song I heard from tame and the music video is the same people who made don't hug me I'm scared

my favorite song from Tame is The Moment. It hurts me that it is such an underrated song. I know in terms of composition it is not the brightest, but the mix of the amazing synths with such simplistic lyrics really does it for me. Amazing vid!⭐️💛
