Tame Impala is touring the U.S. again in support of their album, Lonerism. Kevin and crew have definitely crafted a piece of art. Loud, incredibly groovy and hypnotizing; this record is a sure indicator that if you go see them live, you will have a good time. Their growth is evident through their album’s use of ambient sounds, samples, drum machines, synths, collaborative songwriting amongst members, and the use of Dave Fridmann’s talents. Last time they were in Minneapolis, they played at the 7th St. Entry; Mainly to a small crowd of devoted fans. I believe that this time it may be different. I expect a bigger and more diverse crowd this year since they’re playing First Avenue’s mainroom; especially because they got a lot of attention from the critics for Innerspeaker. They also ended at the top of the lists for Lonerism, receiving an 88/100 from Metacritic and at least 4 stars from most of the big critics out there. (Spin, Pitchfork, NME, etc.) There’s been a lot of talk on sites such as reddit.com about Tame Impala and I’ve heard a lot of their songs played in retail stores.
At weheartmusic we are big fans of Tame Impala. Fellow writer Jess saw them at the Fonda in L.A.. As Jess said, “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, these guys, on the record and live, sound like you’re sitting amongst a Beatles-like Revolver studio session. Kevin’s vocals are as if he’s singing from a mountaintop, and the heavy guitars and organs make you feel like you can climb that mountain alongside him. Jay Watson shakes his impressive hair around as he keeps up the infectious rhythm on drums, and Dominic Simper is more than impressive on bass.. . . . I have a feeling they will forever receive a warm welcome from any American city they chose to hypnotize from here on out. "
