Rarely do debut albums come as confident and fully formed as this: expertly melding garage pop, new wave, 60’s psychedelia and 70’s FM rock into a kaleidoscopic and highly idiosyncratic vision of dub-infused pop.
Drawn by a fascination of pop culture coupled with the experimental and esoteric, the tracks explore outsider themes of the blurring line between high and low culture, pop and avant-garde, reclusiveness and exuberance, while never losing sight of the off-kilter hooks and instantly grabbing riffs that anchor them.
‘AGE WAVES’ is a celebration of pop eccentricity at it’s most exuberant, the work of a freshly arrived musical maverick charging straight out of the gate.
Tame Impala's first single, "Elephant" taken off their forthcoming new album, Lonerism. Available October 5 AUS/ Oct 8 UK / Oct 9 US on Modular People.
