[pause] Yes. And then a short while after that I just decided to not get hung up about it. We were immediately really pumped for it. There was a song, 'Is It True', that was only half-finished at about midnight. But I knew the rewards would be great. It’s one of those things that… I literally can’t deal, or whatever it is. It’s kind of like ever since then, now I see that as like the ultimate studio environment. Granted, in the flesh, you might wonder. When he joined bands later, using music as a way to make new friends, he struggled to draw the lines between fun and work. I hate my voice too much, and my producer brain just immediately wants to flood it with sounds and noises and drum sounds and shit. And then when I would be on my own, that's when I could finally start being creative.". It's a song for the sake of the song right, you know? Hey r/tameimpala!My name's Austin and I run the website for We Write About Music. PARKER: No, they voluntarily compensated me. A new tour is pending. He’s not afraid to axe an entire part of a song, which I think is amazing. And so the difference between the best person in the world and a total novice is just where you decide to put those kick drums and those snares. Choosing what rhythms to play. Him being my father, I worshipped the ground he walked on, I never assumed that he could ever put a foot wrong because he was my dad. Exactly. I really, really hope that we are given an opportunity to finish it and release it. And maybe the music wouldn't suffer and maybe it would just be better because I wouldn't be – I have all kinds of thoughts like that, with this album at least. He likens it to Lego, the idea of "creating something from nothing." He’s just really into what he does and is so dedicated. Kevin Parker chose wisely. But yeah, he used that song in his tour video, and we were told he was a fan. In March, when it became clear most people around the world would have to hole up for a while to combat the spread of COVID-19, the Tame Impala mastermind and his wife, Sophie Lawrence, were faced with a significant decision: Stay in LA or make a break for Parker’s native Perth? When I'm kind of uncomfortable, that's when I think of melodies. I always saw being solitary as a necessity, because I didn't know how to make [music] with people. And also trying to find some way to harness that and use it as an energy. PARKER: I don’t know, man. Almost like a palate cleanser. I got the awesome opportunity to talk to our boy Cam all about his new EP! You just forgive them because they're human and they fuck up, you know? He speaks to Esquire about forgiveness and perfectionism. In those moments, I wish I was just a pop artist who had people buzzing around doing all these kinds of things around me. There was tons of pressure on him to deliver his breakout album, or his album that’s going to take him to the next level. Despite a recent surge of infections on the other side of the country, Australia has largely had the pandemic under control for months. Because he had such a big pressure. It’s just choosing where to put beats and where not to put them. It was really good. Which is what makes it difficult". You've talked before about experimenting in the studio, things like putting chords on as you go to sleep and then waking up with a melody in your head. Do you know if it’s going to come out? You could probably mark quite clearly where I started learning drums because I stopped playing with Lego. That’s just what this was. The communal uplift of 'The Less I Know The Better', or 'Lost In Yesterday', almost makes me understand why people go to those speaking-in-tongue megachurches. It's a little bit daunting because I never consider my music as something that needs to be performed live for it to fulfil its potential. ‘Cause his first lyric is like, “You’re calling my phone thinking I’m doing nothing better, I’m just waiting for it to stop ringing so I can use it again,” which I thought was hysterical. Which is obviously never true. “So we were like, if we’ve gotta go to a hospital, let’s go to a hospital in Perth.”. STEREOGUM: Before this Saturday Night Live performance you worked on Travis Scott’s Astroworld album. We love drum sounds. The psych project mastermind made the comments to Australian radio station triple j … I thought that was cool. The Number Ones: Genesis’ “Invisible Touch”, The Number Ones: Simply Red’s “Holding Back The Years”, Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments, Eve 6 Guy Is Spilling The ’90s Alt-Rock Tea On Twitter, Boy Band Why Don’t We Sample Smashing Pumpkins’ “1979” On New Single “Slow Down”. They taught me so much about storytelling in songwriting and having such a strong personality in your music. Some people hate doing that and I'm one of them. I feel like my perspective of being in the studio changed after that. So when I was recording this album, I intentionally did that. There's no one telling you to just release it? Kevin Parker probably isn't Jesus. PARKER: I just did the drums. With Gaga, that’s what drives her is feeling like a true artist. Although Parker would rather be touring in support of this year’s grand return The Slow Rush, the Fremantle Harbour vicinity is a good place to be right now. And I get really hard on myself. In our interview, we hopped and skipped across his career, discussing various superstar collaborations and bizarre twists in the Tame Impala story. My feelings in that song are not how I feel every day. Tame Impala have covered Edwyn Collins’ 1994 single “A Girl Like You” for Australia’s Triple J Radio in Perth. Not at all. In that same interview, Parker said that his biggest takeaway from making both the previous Tame Impala album, 2015's Currents, and this one was to trust his gut instincts. He wrote every chord, recorded every hi hat, mixed every vocal line. I heard a soundalike of “Someday” by the Strokes on the new Ricky Gervais After Life trailer. Like it came from a part of me that wasn't calculated, where I don't know where that came from. But the awkwardness endures. The last sort of two or three weeks of making the album was just nonstop. He had no producer, no engineer, no session musicians, sometimes not even friends to ask for feedback. Some of this sheen could be attributed to the So I did the best damn fuckin’ stems printing I’ve ever done. It was a demo that I'd recorded in about six hours almost a year before. I've always loved disco and I've always loved primitive house music. It's funny, because every night I walk on stage, you know, in the few minutes before I step on stage, I'm like, 'Oh my god, what am I doing?' Do you actually feel this way, or is this just the post-album emotional hangover? 2020年2月14日、待ち望んでいたTame Impala(テームインパラ)の新アルバム“The Slow Rush”がリリースされた。 2016年度グラミー賞の最優秀オルタナティブミュージック賞にノミネートされ、Tame Impalaがワールドワイドな人気を獲得するきっかけとなった前作“Currents”から5年。 So 'Posthumous Forgiveness' is one-sided in that way. That's important to me. In the last few years, the isolated solo artist has became an in-demand collaborator, who's crafted hits for Travis Scott and Lady Gaga and spent a bunch of studio time with Mark Ronson. So I think it was only ever going to be really homegrown with Mark producing it. It’s funny because the song, it’s this kind of high-tempo thrash pop-rock, I don’t even know what genre it is. No, I'd love to say there was an enlightening, 10-day silent meditation trip, but it really wasn't. Fans got edgy. As a record, it bangs. @sonyatvaustralia #Lawsuit #nowitsmyturn, A post shared by Tame Impala (@tameimpala) on Apr 27, 2017 at 8:01pm PDT. I was writing lyrics up until the hour that I finished it. We were particularly closed off. I just thought it was hilarious. That’s the difference it comes down to. To be honest, this is another thing that I dragged myself kicking and screaming into doing. I really like the acoustic ones I’ve heard, like acoustic covers, ’cause I’m not capable of doing an acoustic song. Like they found a picture of Kevin Parker and it was that guy. It's really important to me to feel like I'm on the verge of it all turning to shit. And I hate being stoned in public, right? anyway in a lot of settings. No, that would be my own brain. In a decade, the psychedelic rock torchbearer and musical flagship of Perth, Australia, polymath Kevin … I can imagine the squad of writers and producers all working together was a culture shock for someone who famously records his own music in isolation. ‘Cause I’m not. He developed an almost chronic shyness, for which music became a kind of balm. I’m joking, obviously. 964 votes, 25 comments. Watch The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon highlight 'Tame Impala: Borderline' on NBC.com The only thing stopping you is you choosing not to have that. The hardest thing to do in that time would be to just sit down and finish the song because I just wanted to do something else, or something would take my attention, or I was bugging out about it. I mean COME ON guys at least put some effort in. You know what, I'm running out of people that I haven't worked with that I would like to, just because of how it's worked out. PARKER: Yeah. It can be extremely lame. I didn’t know what it was, ’cause I knew he had stopped making Streets albums in like 2009 or something? I’m just rubbish. But this wasn’t that. "It was around the time I was so inside my own head and just completely lacking in perspective," he says. Ahead of the album's release, Tame Impala's auteur Kevin Parker sat down with Zan Rowe and opened up in an in-depth interview about the many aspects of his third full-length album. It has to be good, which is what makes it difficult. STEREOGUM: Have any other covers of your work stood out to you as particularly interesting or changed your perspective on your own song? What's your role when you're in a room with, say, Mark Ronson? And he has that hair and those warm eyes and the little beard, which combine to make him look like he should be sat at the centre of Leonardo's Last Supper. There’s some bits and pieces on top of it that I played, which was funny because I hadn’t played along to a recording of that song since InnerSpeaker, which was like 2010. What’s the vibe with him in the studio? PARKER: It was great. Then, nothing. STEREOGUM: I don’t know that much about the art of production. You hear it all the time. It was still fun, though. But hey, fuck it, I'd love to work with Daft Punk. We were just starting out, young guys from Perth, all fairly socially inept, so everything was pretty intimidating — which I wish it hadn’t been. He also informed their parents. That’s all that matters. It’s been in limbo for two or three years now.
