(February 2020) Episode 252 is TAME IMPALA. Continuing my tour of psychedelic rock bands from Perth, Australia (yes, it’s a thing). I hit a speed bump with Tame Impala. Not sure why they’re labeled “psychedelic” (especially after retiring their guitars). Merely the overuse of echo? It’s all lush synth-laden pop which is not interesting to me (but gets them arena gigs, I guess). I recommend Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and Pond instead.
Fun fact: I finished this episode on the same day their most recent album was released.
Favourite album: InnerSpeaker
Favourite song: Solitude Is Bliss
Compared to expectations: ↓
Opus Project 
Kevin Parker is in Pond and the TI dude. Sad you did not dig Currents and the other material from TI as much. If there must be Pop, let it be this. Currents is on my DID. New recording not quite at Currents level but a good A-.
