Inner Speaker
Australian two CD Collector’s Edition includes a bonus disc containing nine further and added tracks. Debut album from the Australian Rock trio. The album sounds like a mashup amidst The Beatles Sgt Pepper & Caribou’s Andorra. Recorded and devised by the band’s own Kevin Parker with Death In Vegas’s Tim Holmes on the engineer duties, in an enormous mansion with 180 degree views of the Indian Ocean. It was then mixed in upstate New York, by famous sonic maverick Dave Fridmann (MGMT / Flaming Lips). The resultant record features the single ‘Solitude Is Bliss’, a joyous summertime romp through fields of honeyed concord and crispy good times and is just the very tip of the amorphous cosmos that Tame Impala inhabit.

 Finest album of the year…
By Superman
I’m 48-years-old and I refuse to “get lost in a decade” vis-a-vis music. I know too many people who are stuck in a certain decade of music, usually the decade they went to high school. I love discovering new bands, new sounds and I enjoy it so much I’m willing to listen to a LOT of bad music to find those gems. This is absolutely one of those gems. Most people mention track two, Desire Be Desire Go or track six, Solitude Is Bliss as the standouts, and they are good, but track one, It’s Not Meant To Be is the true masterpiece. As other has said, Tame Impala sounds like they are channeling Lennon à la Sergent Pepper, and that’s true, but they also incorporate a healthy dose of Tears For Fears and more obscure names like Kula Shaker, who had an EP called Summer Sun (Tame Impala had an EP called Modular Recordings with a single called “Sundown Syndrome”). This album is sonic heroin, stick it in and get high.

 Best “rock” album I’ve heard all year
By M. Fulkerson
Whether you’re okay with a band so blatantly borrowing from so many genres to make an album will definitely sway your impressions of Tame Impala’s “Innerspeaker”. If you can get square with that idea you’re in for a unique treat, and one of the finest albums of 2010 (so far).
