Well, this sure sounds encouraging.

Hello, all. A couple of members recommended Tame Impala on this thread, and I was wondering which album to start with. Thanks.

There's only two albums so far - Innerspeaker (2010) and Lonerism (2012). They're not all that different from each other, so it probably doesn't matter too much which one you listen to first. The main difference between the two is, Innerspeaker is perhaps just a tad more "retro" than Lonerism, as Lonerism has just a tad more synthesizer stuff. But the differences aren't major.

They also have an EP which came out in 2008. It was intended just as a demo not for public consumption, but it's got some good stuff anyway. They also have a single which came out in 2010 (see top of page 7).

Here's two good early songs which didn't make it onto either of their albums. Not sure I've linked these here yet.

This first one is a really fun song!

Really retro sound to this one.

Y'know I had never heard that MJ song before. Not a huge MJ fan but this is a pretty good song. TA does a nice job of covering it:

Saw them at Primavera for the first time last year and thought they were pretty good, but I wasn't blown away, but I've gotten more into them since then. They're definitely a grower!

If anyone likes Flaming Lips they did a collaboration with them last year called Children of the Moon. The guitar sound is phenomenal! Worth a listen.

I really dig this band. When I first heard them I coulda sworn it was John Lennon reincarnated! HAH!

I don't know why they get so much press. They are just a rehashed Wolf & Cub as far as I am concerned !
