Tame Impala

Psychedelic pop between vision and zeitgeist

Tame Impala is the project of Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, who has been causing a stir worldwide since the late 2000s. With his unique blend of psychedelic rock, pop, R&B and electronic sounds, he has created a sound that is both retro and futuristic - and has shaped entire genres in the process.

Musically, Tame Impala are characterised by flowing synthesizers, reverb-soaked guitars and hypnotic grooves. Albums like Lonerism, Currents or The Slow Rush show Parker's ability to combine great emotions with complex soundscapes. Songs like Feels Like We Only Go Backwards or The Less I Know The Better have long been modern classics.

The lyrics revolve around self-reflection, longing, love and dealing with change. With a mixture of introspection and timeless poetry, Parker succeeds in making personal experiences universally understandable.

Tame Impala is also an experience live: with spectacular light shows and a sound that combines intimate moments and monumental expanses, concerts are like a frenzy of music and visuals. Tame Impala have thus redefined psychedelic pop - and at the same time conquered a firm place in the mainstream.
