Tame Impala are a five-piece Psychedelic Rock band from Perth, Western Australia. Originally beginning as Kevin Parker's solo recording project in 2007, Tame Impala signed a deal with Modular Records, with the band now adding Dominic Simper (then) on bass and Jay Watson (then) on drums. The group then expanded, including Nick Allbrook on bass (Simper started playing guitar post-2009) and Julien Barbagallo on drums (Watson started playing synth in 2011). In 2013, Nick Allbrook left the band to pursuit personal endeavours, and was replaced by Cam Avery of Pond.The release of their first EP helped them build up credibility amongst the Perth music scene, but their 2010 debut album Innerspeaker and the 2012 followup Lonerism helped cement a global reputation and fanbase; some even going as far as proclaiming them as currently the best band in the world. From 2009 onwards, their works have been consistently nominated for awards and helped expose Perth's psychedelic scene to the world. Tame Impala, however, remains the most well-known band of the scene by volumes.After Parker's perfectionism had the album delayed by two months, the group's next album, Currents, was released on July 17, 2015, to a critical acclaim. The electronica-influenced album received a 9.3/10 from Pitchfork, with reviewer Ian Cohen comparing it to Loveless, Kid A, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in terms of musical creativity. Fans were initially more divided, but as time went on the album began to receive more praise. Commercially, Currents quickly became Tame Impala's most successful album by far, debuting at number 1 in Australia, number 3 in the UK and number 4 in the US.Discography: Innerspeaker (2010) Lonerism (2012) Currents (2015) The Slow Rush (2020) | |

Repetitive Audio Glitch | |
| Tame Impala (Music) / int_192853e5 | comment |
Repetitive Audio Glitch: Deliberately invoked in "Let It Happen", where the music is stuck in a repetitive glitch and a new melody is played on top of it; according to Kevin, it was born out of his fascination with glitches in music playback systems (as well as a desire to trick people into thinking the song is skipping unintentionally). | |

I'm a Man; I Can't Help It: ''Cause I'm A Man' is often interpreted as this, though Kevin stated that it is "meant to be more interpreted more like 'I'm a man' as in 'I'm a human.'". | |

New Sound Album | |
| Tame Impala (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Although only four albums have been released so far, this trope does come into play. Innerspeaker was reminiscent of 60's psychadelica and is the more rock-driven album, Lonerism featured a psych-pop sound, and Currents borrowed from dance, electronica and disco. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| Tame Impala (Music) / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution: In a matter of two years: listening to Innerspeaker after listening to "Half Full Glass Of Wine" can be a bit weird. His vocal evolution continued after Innerspeaker; his vocals on the first two albums were frequently compared by the media to those of John Lennon: by the time Kevin recorded Currents, Kevin developed his own, distinct singing style, also utilizing his falsetto range more frequently. | |

All Love Is Unrequited | |
| Tame Impala (Music) / int_7a82c3d2 | comment |
All Love Is Unrequited: "The Less I Know The Better" mixes this with a little bit of Love Martyr; in it, Kevin sings about his love for a girl who is already taken by a guy called Trevor but nonetheless plays with his mind and gives him hope that they could be together. Kevin does make an attempt to get over her, but he ends up back at square one when he sees her once again. | |

| Tame Impala (Music) / int_8c00118f | comment |
Spoken Word in Music: "Glimmer" opens with a sample from the Recording Studio Rockstars podcast, where one of the hosts talks about the tendency for amateur producers to turn the bass up when mixing. "Past Life" features a monologue from Kevin, with his vocals pitched down, detailing him picking up his dry cleaning when, in the rear-view mirror of his car, he sees the figure of a former lover. | |

Rearrange the Song | |
| Tame Impala (Music) / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: The album version of "Borderline" differs significantly from the original version, which was released as a standalone single. Differences include a shorter running time, minor changes in the lyrics, extra backing vocals in the third verse and chorus, and changes to the bass and snare drum. Kevin stated that he was rushed into releasing the original version of the song and that the album version was recorded as he intended it to be heard. | |
