    In just under a decade, Tame Impala has gone from an adored psychedelic project to one of the biggest bands in the world. I take a look at Tame Impala’s discography and explore the life of Kevin Parker, who is the genius behind it all.

I immediately listened to Tame Impala’s entire discography, and fell in love. It also inspired me to branch out and listen to other similar/alternative music. Thank you Kevin Parker for changing my outlook on music

      He truly elicits emotions like few others can! So much of his music is like a pair of jumper cables on my heart, immediately sparking swirling bliss or deep, deep introspection. Hell, the entire Currents album is like a sonic hallucinogenic experience, whether it's a single song or the album in its entirety! I hate to throw this word out there, but at this hour I lack a better analogue: it's transcendent.

    I was lucky enough to see Tame Impala this year in London. Before playing "Feels like we only go backwards" he apologised for not releasing an album for a while and said he doubted whether anyone would want to see him live! It astounded me how humble and unaware of his own talent he is. Luckily the whole crowd made it clear we love them.

    The first time I had ever heard Tame Impala's Currents album, I could have sworn I had listened to it before but I hadn't. The way each song unfolded and swirled itself into a wave of feelings and shrouded emotions just struck me with a familiarity only so few other albums could accomplish. At that point I had not heard any of their songs but once heard, they stuck as if I had listened to them for years. It's quite an odd feeling to put into detailed words, but it was and still is a feeling only they have beautifully encapsulated.

    Of all the documentaries and video essays I've seen on TI, this is by far the best. That clip of the kids at the end literally has me in tears realizing how beautiful it is to have a unifying musical force alive today. We always think of artists like The Beatles and Michael Jackson as these wonderful gifts of past lives, but my god, we have our own today, and his name is Kevin Parker. He doesn't just enrich individual lives with his music; he brings us together and reminds us of man's best nature in the face of an unredeemable and bleak outlook. No matter how bad things are now, and no matter how far down we spiral... no matter if we are allowed to continue at all, we have today. We have this moment, and for me, it is defined by Tame Impala. No one can take that away from us. What a fucking gift.

I can't believe the "I was born in the wrong generation" circle jerk exists. We have more great music than ever because of the internet. Yeah, sure, that means we also have more shitty musicians putting their music out there, but it also opens an avenue for truly creative geniuses who don't have insane connections to release their art freely. Shitty music has ALWAYS been around, but now people like early Kevin Parker have the means to release their work that they recorded in their apartments to the world. We live in a golden age of music, don't let the "hnnnnng POP MUSIC BAD OLD MUSIC GOOD" people distract you from that.

      I don't think you're right. His dad was telling him he won't enjoy music while it is his job, the way to make his bread. A job is usually the thing that you HAVE to do, having the right mood or not. But obsession with every detail isn't caused by that - it is Kevin's artistic approach, he is a perfectionist. Perfectionism can irritate a person eventually and make him tired.

    I can definitely say that tame impala is very emotional for a good amount of people. last year (I was a freshman in high school), I fell in love for the first time with this wonderful girl and she introduced me to tame impala and I was hooked. within a month or two Spotify told me i was in the top one percent for tame impala listeners for the sheer amount of it I consumed daily haha. I remember around Christmas when i was off with my family I mailed her currents on vinyl as my Christmas gift and she loved it. but like all good things, our relationship had to end during quarantine. even though I was willing to do anything to make her happy and keep going she just lacked the communication and problem solving skills to continue. that was months ago but I still think about her every night and it makes me very very sad. and every time i listen to tame impala I feel like crying because it reminds me of the happiest time in my life with that girl. everything about that time in my life that made me happy is now gone and i just have to find something new to keep me going.

    Currents was thee perfect album in my opinion. Dont put a lid on musicians unstoppable thirst to explore new ideas with music, especially with someone who is constantly progressing such as Kevin Parker and Damon Albarn from Gorillaz. It's a privilege we get to hear their talents come to life, don't shut down their creativity for your own selfish reasons. Just love it all.

    I feel you on listening to tame impala nearly every single day for the past 4 years. Before I found Tame Impala's music I swear to god it felt like I was searching for his music for as long as I knew what music even was. There were only a few songs and artists that I actually truly enjoyed but they never gave me the feeling I was craving. So when I discovered the living and breathing and beautiful music making god, Kevin Parker, those cravings were finally fulfilled. This deep connection had formed between me and his music and I am now absolutely addicted to it. I kind of gained this lowkey love for the man himself which uhhh made sense considering how he gifted me and the rest of us his wonderful sounding work of art that gives me a feeling no one else ever has.There are a few songs out there that I do truly connect to as well but there like single songs from artists that do not continuously shoot me right in the soul with their songs every time like Kevin does. Now I don't mean to brag but I was lucky enough (for once) to see tame impala live at Citadel and I kid you not it was the best night of my life, I'd sell my soul to experience it again because it was literally magical like nothing ever will top seeing tame impala live and I HIGHLY urge everyone to grab the chance, if they have it, to see Kevin and his band live too.

      That's so amazing to hear. Ive kind of gone through a similar situation where i just couldn't find any other music or group that could touch my soul or be the sou sound track of my life besides the Grateful Dead and Dave Matthews Band, but then i recently started listening to Billie Eilish. I tried to have no expectations going in since im 20 years older than her but her music just speaks to me and I think her and Finneas are just geniuses. I have a strange feeling Tame Impala can do something similar for me and I'm excited to explore what Ive missed over these years!
