вЂњHoly shit, you go back so far,вЂќ Parker exclaimed, eyes straining to the back of the crowd on a distant hill during a break in the set. TheyвЂ™re a formidable live presence, accompanied by a charmingly old-fashioned light show whose psychedelic projections wash Parker and co in blobs of colour and movement. Parker, whose approach to the writing, recording and production of Tame Impala records recalls the megalomaniacal commitment of BostonвЂ™s Tom Scholz (though Parker is clearly much nicer), is accompanied around the worldвЂ™s stadia by a four-piece band: Jay Watson on synths, Dominic Simper on guitar, Cam Avery on bass guitar, and Julien Barbagallo on drums. When Kevin Parker and his touring band began to unfold the mysteries of Let It Happen, most of the stalls emptied and surged to the front of the stage. That means 12,000 or so people, and thatвЂ™s not counting the hopeful picnickers craning their necks from beyond the fences and perched in the branches of the venerable trees surrounding the venue. Here is Tame Impala on Conan performing вЂњLet It HappenвЂќ.A sold-out crowd flocked to see Tame Impala play MelbourneвЂ™s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Saturday night, their first Melbourne headline engagement in the two years theyвЂ™ve spent criss-crossing the globe. My guess is you will here from this band for years to come. It seems they are moving out of the psychedelic genre and dipping their toes into other musical spheres. ItвЂ™s too early to say what Tame ImpalaвЂ™s commercial success can turn into. Like currents, life is in constant flow and Parker is changing with it. HeвЂ™s the same as the person on the previous albums, but he is trying to move on. ParkerвЂ™s final song вЂњNew Person, Same Old MistakesвЂ™ is an ending to his album and his old music styling. It gets to вЂњEventuallyвЂќ where Parker wishes to never remember his former significant other to avoid the emotional pain (вЂњWish I could change you back into a stranger/Cause if I was never in your life, you wouldnвЂ™t have to change thisвЂќ). The thoughts in his head representing the noise during the transition of life. вЂњLet It HappenвЂќ fittingly opens the album with words defining what goes on everyday in our lifeвЂ™s. Kevin Parker takes you on ride where he explains his emotions and detailed thoughts through a complicated relationship. ParkerвЂ™s voice pronounces smoothly over the music making you not have to listen twice to hear what he is saying.

Lyrically, the album still represents the clear thoughtfulness that were featured in the other albums, and you can hear them. The sound resembles the recentВ Jamie XX album In ColorВ and Daft Punk pop-dance music whileВ still keeping ParkerвЂ™s influence Beatles persona. Currents lures you inside ParkerвЂ™s loneliness during a breakup with smooth drum and bass harmonies. The heavy guitar rifts found throughout LonerismВ are minimal and the new sound of dance and funk become more prominent. ParkerвЂ™s music wasВ definitely still exotic and colorful, but maybe not he didnвЂ™t want it as loud. He worked the drums, guitar, bass, keyboard and gave the album voice all while mixing and editing. Unlike the previous albums, all lyrics and music were performed by one man, Kevin Parker. When you listen to these two albums, you hear the resemblance of the classic Beatles and Pink Floyd, but itвЂ™s not mimicked.Д¬urrentsis different, however. The lyrically creative вЂњFeels Like We Only Go BackwardsвЂќ was complimented by a Jon Lennon-like (need to carefully with that comparison) harmonized voiced that plateaued LonerismВ and Tame Impala to the top of psychedelic music. The scratchy electric guitar on cue with the bass line on LonerismвЂ™s вЂњElephantвЂќ on par with the genre of Flaming Lips and Animal Collective. Tame Impala released their third studio album on July 17, and its like nothing we have ever heard before.Д«efore the critically acclaimed Currents, Tame Impala modernized the mid-60s psychedelic sound with Innerspeaker and Lonerism.
