Tame Impala EP OUT NOW

posted by Justin at 2:31 pm.

If you’re a regular reader, obviously you know that I keep pushing Tame Impala. They’re this new psychedelic act out of Australia, best buds with Modular, and are touring with the likes of MGMT and such in the land down under. They released “Skeleton Tiger” a couple weeks back as a free download on their official site, but you can now go there and grab the other 4 tracks to complete the EP for $3.99 (AUD).

Quoted from their email: “Our EP consists of a selection of 5 songs out of about 25 home recorded songs we have. A couple were recorded as long ago as 2005; others were still being written when the EP was supposed to be getting mastered (oh yeah sorry about that Modular…). x Kevin, Dom & Jay

Tame Impala EP Coming Oct. 11

posted by Justin at 3:49 pm.

Signed, recorded and poised to overtake Australia, Tame Imala is offering their first EP for pre-order on the band’s new official website. You can download the single ‘Skeleton Tiger’ for free at the site if you give some info for a mailing.The EP will contain some home recordings, which is an awesome specialty of these guys from Perth. Anything they record sounds instantly classic. Especially for the noise their going for: psychedelic garage rock (o-yeah). The trio knows how to structure a song and make their guitars sound just like it’s 1967. If you’re into the Stones, the Monks, the Standells, or the Sonics, Tame Impalas’ MYSPACE is just a click away.

The group is touring with MGMT across Australia this December.

Go ahead, check it out.

Tame Impala

posted by Justin at 12:09 am.

Australia’s psychedelic revolution is underway. In Perth, three guys have come together to form what music needs, rock ‘n roll. Tame Impala’s mission is to play in large, grassy areas and record music in their homes for you to download. Their myspace caption reads, “music to download on sunny days.” Remember Me is just that. Go to their SITE right now and download this song. You. Will. Not. Regret. It. This song has been my favorite morning music for the past couple weeks. I need to send credit over to Ian LeSueur for sending this song my way. See what Mad Decent had to say. Ian is headed to Melbourne this fall to become famous. You should probably add him on Myspace now.

The group is signed to Australian’s Modular records. Founded by Steve Pavlovic, the label has grown quickly since 2004’s release of the Avalanche’s and Cut Copy’s debut albums. Regardless, this group is worth checking out. Follow this sound and really watch for it to spread everywhere. Do you have any tie-dye?
