Tame Impala

Australian psych-rock act

Tame Impala is an Australian psychedelic rock project led by Kevin Parker, who writes, records, and produces nearly all the music himself.

The name evokes something wild made docile—an impala you might approach.

Since the late 2000s, the project has shaped contemporary psychedelic pop with reverb-heavy production and introspective lyrics: I've been listening to a lot of Tame Impala lately.
