Few weeks ago, when I was writing about Emitt Rhodes and the uncanny resemblance of his and Paul McCartney's voices, I had no idea I would later discover another John Lennon too. Well, I did, in the person of Kevin Parker, the 26-year-old frontman of an Australian dream pop band, Tame Impala.
Tame Impala came into my attention after the release of their sophomore album, Lonerism, which has been receiving large amounts of praise all over the interwebs and will, without a doubt, be appearing on many upcoming AOTY lists, including mine.
The songs are mostly instrumental, making good use of all the production tools and sound effects a music studio has to offer, and yet, at the same time, they are very guitar-driven. The psychedelic melodies and Parker's ethereal voice only add up to the feeling of a very complex listening experience.
As the album progresses, you start to feel the increasing longing to put on Magical Mystery Tour, but it's also very difficult to let go of such a captivating and absorbing album, that is Lonerism.
Best tracks: Be Above It, Why Won't They Talk to Me?, Feels Like We Only Go Backwards
