Tame Impala - Elephant

Tame Impala is a band from Perth, Australia, the psychedelic rock project of Kevin Parker. The band came to prominence in 2010 with the release of their debut album, Innerspeaker. Their name refers to the impala, a medium sized antelope. They like to see themselves as "a steady flowing psychedelic groove rock band that emphasizes dream-like melody.

Tame Impala is the movement in Orion's nebula and the slime from a snail journeying across a footpath. To humans however, Tame Impala is more of a 'music ensemble', but its various other forms should not be disregarded (colour that humans can see is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, the rest is just as important to other things!)

Tame Impala are Kevin Parker, Dom Simper and Jay Watson. The Tame Impala sound is one equally informed by The Beatles as it is beat poetry, by Turkish prog as it is by Turkish delight, and by English folk as much as homeless folk, and it's a breathe of fresh air that reeks of all of these at times and none at others.

Tame Impala return to the European stages in October with a series of dates that coincide with the release of the sequel to the 2010 Inner Speaker and spread the psychedelic hypno-groove melodic rock music.

The tour begins in Germany, moving through France, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Holland before ending in the UK at the beginning of november. Sweden show is set on ​​Oct.20 at the club What We Do Is Secret at Debaser Medis in Stockholm.

The new album is Heavily inspired by Todd Rundgren's 1973 album A Wizard, a True Star, Lonerism represents somewhat of a musical departure for Tame Impala.

Todays tune "Elephant" is taken from the upcoming second album "Lonerism", set to be released on 5 October 2012.
