Tame Impala

At the time of the live recording where Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys covered Tame Impala's "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards," Tame Impala had just gained significant traction with their critically acclaimed album "Lonerism," released in 2012. The song itself is from this album and showcases Kevin Parker's distinctive psychedelic sound that has become synonymous with the band. By this point in their career, Tame Impala was solidifying their reputation as a leading figure in the modern psychedelic rock scene, with "Lonerism" earning a spot in numerous year-end lists. Interesting to note is that the success of this album laid the foundation for their subsequent work, paving the way for their larger international tours and collaborations, including several notable artists covering their work, reflecting their growing influence in the music world. This live cover illustrates the mutual respect between the two bands and highlights Tame Impala's impact on contemporary music.
