Tame Impala是遥远猎户座星云或乡间小径上冗长足迹中的乐章。虽然,对人们来说Tame Impala是一个“乐团”,但其他各种形式的意义不应该被忽视。(就像人们只能看见自然界里缤繁复杂的颜色的一小部分,但是剩下的那部分是不可或缺的一样)
他们创作着迷幻的催人入睡的愉悦旋律,目的和意图是旨于让身体跟着运动并且观察其它形式的举动。也许言过其实,但确实是在眩晕一样,(笔者表示生涩难懂)想像一个巨大的猫科动物正在迈着大步穿行于一个隧道之间。如果Tame Impala的音乐提醒了你在下一次和自己内心的交流中要做什么,他们很高兴能做这些。如果没有,无论如何,这只是音乐而已。把这些放于绚丽的日光下吧。因为这些就是一种感觉。
Tame Impala是由Kevin Par Coeur、Jay Watson和Dominic Simper组成。从一次中学的音乐课上13岁的Kevin和Dom的相遇,到现在已经有9年多的音乐上的合作历史了。之后的一段时间,Kevin就开始练习他曾经的录音技巧并从中领悟出新的鼓击技巧。
他们的音乐从The Beatles的打击节拍和英伦民谣与一些现在已经找不到源头的民谣和其它一些更宽泛的音乐中获得了或多或少的灵感。
无论如何, Tame Impala依然享受着在家里录音和在天气允许的情况下在屋顶入睡。通过 songs-vat(用于储存歌曲的器具)的特殊的效果帮助下,他们可以不用再次人为地处理这些录得的歌曲。
