Kevin Parker, the multi-instrumentalist at the heart of Tame Impala, made a splash with 2010's Innerspeaker album. But with the release of this year's Lonerism, the Australia band has become the undisputed champion of modern day psychedelia.

Parker's sun-drenched soundscapes and John Lennon-soundalike vocals create a fittingly hippie echo, lending Tame Impala to comparisons both Laurel Canyon and Strawberry Fields Forever. There's an undeniable lysergic quality to the music that makes you think Parker just might be a long-lost child of Timothy Leary.

When I reach Parker he's just spent the morning recovering from his first night on American shores.The talkative Aussie downplays the band's obvious psychedelic influences. Instead, he happily gushes about his favorite thing to do: simply, making music. ]]> Kevin Parker Tame ImpalaLonerismTame ImpalaTame Impala lonerismTameImpala Johnny Hockin 2012-11-29T15:00:00 00:00
