Tame Impala - Lonerism (2012)

Tame Impala - Lonerism

   Kevin Parker just keeps getting better and better and better all the time .  Lonerism is the 2012 release that is one of my favourite albums of 2012 !  With all songs written and mostly played by Kevin Parker, "Lonerism" is a strong follow up to the mind bending debut Inner Speaker album which I loved.

 Kind of interesting that he writes and plays most of the instruments and the album is called "Lonerism" eh !
   
   Tame Impala is an imaginary world where the Beatles meet XTC and you might just think that Andy Partridge just took a Magical Mystery Tour!.
   
   "Lonerism" is a much more synthesizer infused album than the heavy guitar laden debut album.   There is still lots of guitar on this album too but just seems less pronounced to me.   No question Kevin Parker has a John Lennon-themed voice and at times you kind of do a double take on his voice.........  
  
   Lonerism is really a fun album of 12 pop-psych infused songs that definitely take you on a musical  adventure.
