Tame Impala - Solitute is BlissAlbum: Innerspeaker [2010]
kevin parker (vocals/guitar) and dominic simper (bass) formed tame impala as 13 year olds in perth in 1999, sticking to bedroom recordings until 2007. myspace rocketed them from a teenage garage band to the sought-after trophy in a multiple label bidding war. the swirls and squalling fuzz-toned riffs that populate their debut album clearly owe a hefty, heartfelt debt to the hazy feel of late-60's/early-70's psychedelic rock. there's so much tame impala get right with this song - a distinct undercurrent of melody, a relaxed but ever-present sense of groove, and a crispness to the sound even when it's treated with buzz and reverb. moreover, they do it all without seeming like they're trying all that hard. sounds like heavy beatles.
