Kevin Parker writes, records and produces Tame Impala's studio material; live performances are presented by a touring band. Major albums include Innerspeaker (2010), Lonerism (2012), Currents (2015) and The Slow Rush (2020).

DeBaser reviews show strong praise for Tame Impala's early albums (Innerspeaker, Lonerism) and a more divided reception for later work (Currents, The Slow Rush). Critics highlight psychedelia, songwriting, and Kevin Parker's production, while some find later records smoother but less song-driven.

For:Fans of psychedelic rock and pop; listeners interested in production-forward indie music; readers of music criticism.

 But it's still elevator music.

 There's a magic in the noise of "Innerspeaker": an organic sense of apparent disorder, arrangements seemingly thrown together to test the pre-ambient sound transitions, only to play them again, spreading a swarm of tremolo guitars bouncing back and forth, clashing against the thunderous 'crunch' of bass and drums. Until the system explodes.

 Lonerism, nearly exclusively recorded by the latter, is an album close to psychedelia combined with a refined pop taste, noticeable in tracks like "Apocalypse Dreams" and "Mind Mischief."
