Gnomicide Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I've Googled him so at least I now know who he is and I think @fatyeti24 has the right answer. Imagine a *scrolls up page* Kevin Parker and that drummer out of Foo Fighters love child. The hair! The teeth! Gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmb1992 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Just googled as I wanted a better look at his hair and had no idea that Tame Impala is in fact just Kevin Parker himself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Dude's a genius as far as I'm concerned, Straya's psychedelic Prince. I don't quite know what bedroom pop is, but KP has certainly been a massive influence on a number of current artists and wears his own influences very much on his sleeve. Currents was a bit of a departure being so poppy and the disco influences he seems to want to play with now are really interesting. I'd love another Lonerism from him though, that album is criminally unrecognised. I honestly wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if he dropped a reggae or jazz themed album somewhere along the way, his career is a journey. If you dig around on youtube there is a metric fuckton of music he's been involved with outside of his released works, lots of demos, odd sessions and other collaborations, you can literally spend a whole trip just going down the rabbit hole of what he's recorded or influenced. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WM Hall Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Tame Impala fuckin blow lol The real kings of "Bedroom Pop" (if you mean "pop music made in a bedroom") are Ariel Pink and R. Stevie Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 R Stevie Moore in particular is about 400 albums ahead of Captain Thinscarf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest17 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 He produces the best sounding drums going these days. Him and M Ronnie were a great laugh to watch disc jockeying at hell in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only came across their last album, was ok but didn't leave me wanting more. Couple of tracks I really liked though. Worth exploring the back catalogue a bit?
