Tame Impala

In September 2008, Tame Impala was on the brink of something exciting. At the Amplifier Capitol in Perth, just after releasing their debut EP, 'Tame Impala,' Kevin Parker and Jay Watson were still figuring things out, but you could feel the energy of promise in the air. The interview showcases their raw enthusiasm and hints at the creative direction they were headed toward. This was a time when they were transitioning from a local band into the broader music scene, soaking in influences and honing their unique sound. It's fascinating to hear them discuss their recording process, as it foreshadows the psychedelic textures that would soon resonate in their later work, like their first full-length album, 'Innerspeaker,' released in 2010.
