Tame Impala

On May 22, 2014, Tame Impala was riding a wave of success following the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'Lonerism,' which debuted in 2012. This live recording at the O2 Academy in Oxford captures the band during a transformative period, as they were gaining a reputation for their mesmerizing, psychedelic sound that blends rock with electronic influences. Just months after this performance, they would release their highly anticipated album, 'Currents,' marking a shift in their musical direction. Fun fact: during this era, frontman Kevin Parker was hailed for his innovative approach to music production, often doing everything himself in the studio. This performance features 'Desire Be, Desire Go,' a track that showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend catchy melodies with rich, layered soundscapes, highlighting both their musical evolution and live energy.
