Οι Tame Impala είναι ένα ροκ συγκρότημα από το Περθ της Αυστραλίας, το οποίο σχηματίστηκε από τον Kevin Parker.[1] Το συγκρότημα έγινε γνωστό το 2010 με την κυκλοφορία του πρώτου άλμπουμ τους, Innerspeaker, και έλαβαν μεγάλη αναγνώριση για το δεύτερο άλμπουμ τους, Lonerism, το 2012. Το όνομά τους αναφέρεται στο impala, ένα είδος αντιλόπης.

Ιστορική Αναδρομή

Ξεκίνημα

Οι Tame Impala σχηματίστηκαν από το αρχικό συγκρότημα blues/jazz/psychedelic του Kevin Parker, τους Dee Dee Dums. Οι Dee Dee Dums αποτελούνταν από τον Parker (κιθάρα) και τον Luke Epstein (ντραμς). Τον Οκτώβριο του 2006, ο Epstein αντικαταστάθηκε από τον ντράμερ Sam Devenport, και ο Epstein έγινε μέλος των Sugarpuss. Στα τέλη του 2007 το συγκρότημα μετονομάστηκε σε Tame Impala, με καινούριο ντράμερ, και υιοθετώντας το πιο παραδοσιακό σχήμα κιθάρα/μπάσο/ντραμς. Ο Devenport αργότερα ακολούθησε καριέρα ως ηθοποιός.[2]

Tame Impala EP

Τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2008 κυκλοφόρησαν το πρώτο τους ομώνυμο EP.[3] Λόγω του εξωφύλλου του EP, το οποίο σχεδίασε ο ίδιος ο Kevin Parker, υπήρξε μια σύγχυση σχετικά με τον τίτλο, και πολλοί αναφέρονταν σε αυτό ως "Antares Mira Sun".[4][5] Το εξώφυλλο είναι απόπειρα απεικόνισης μιας διαφάνειας που είδε σε μια διάλεξη αστρονομίας, το οποίο υποδείκνυε τη διαφορά μεγέθους ανάμεσα στα αστέρια Αντάρες, Mira και τον Ήλιο.

Innerspeaker

Το πρώτο άλμπουμ των Tame Impala, Innerspeaker, κυκλοφόρησε στις 21 Μαΐου 2010. In the U.K. its official release date was 28 June, however iTunes accidentally made it available to buy immediately (not pre-order) on 12 May. The album was released in the United States on 8 June to general and critical acclaim. Pitchfork named it Best New Music.[6]

Lonerism

On 7 December 2011, Kevin Parker began mixing the second Tame Impala album, Lonerism, with producer Dave Fridmann.[7]

Parts of the recording had taken place in Parker's home studio in France, as well as Parker producing and playing on the self-titled dream pop album by Melody's Echo Chamber which is the project of French singer Melody Prochet. As a result, one of the tracks is titled "Endors Toi", which roughly translates from French to English as "fall asleep" or "hypnotise yourself". The album cover is also a photo taken by Parker himself, with additional editing by graphic designer Leif Podhajsky who created the album art for Innerspeaker, of the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, France. This image ties into the themes of isolation of Lonerism with a metal gate separating the viewer from the people in the Gardens.[8] It also features the songs "Apocalypse Dreams" and "Elephant", which are some of the first songs that Parker has co-written with Jay Watson.

In November 2012, Lonerism won the 2012 J Award for Australian Album of the Year. They also won it for their debut album Innerspeaker in 2010. This makes them the first band to have won the J Award more than once, and the first band to have won a J Award for every album that they have ever released. They followed this achievement up in January 2013 by winning the Rolling Stone award for 2012 Album of the Year again, after they also won it in 2011 for Innerspeaker. It was also announced as album of the year in the UK by NME magazine.

Lonerism was voted number #1 overall in Rolling Stone, Triple J, NME, Filter Magazine, Urban Outfitters, FasterLouder and Obscure Sound's 2012 Album of the Year polls.

On 18 May 2013, it was announced via Facebook that Nick Allbrook would leave the band to focus on other musical endeavors, and that Cam Avery of Pond and The Growl would take his place. Allbrook played his final gig with the band on their last Australian tour date of 2013 at Perth's Belvoir Amphitheatre, the same venue Allbrook played his first gig with the band in 2008. As a departing farewell the band played a cover of Outkast's Prototype.[9]
