Aussie psych-rockers Tame Impala released their debut album this year entitled Innerspeaker to phenomenal critical acclaim, becoming a force to be reckoned with when lists are compiled for the years top albums. Already huge in the land down under, Tame Impala rely on textured soundscapes that penetrate the genre in a fresh way. Like their contemporaries Dungen, the jazzy compositions only make up a small part of the band's catologue of songs. Songs range from dancy, to heavy, to bluesy and everything in between. Each song brings a different feeling, emotion, and creativity to the instruments that are channeled through a number of effects like reverbs, delays, chorus, flanger, and other kinds of names I can't even pronounce. The music is as tight as the jeans they wear and unmatted as the hair that grows on their head."It's Not Meant to Be" incorporates the textures of the album best. The song has been stuck in my head for at least three days, thus entitled "song of MY day." The chorus is probably the best part, in which the drums switch to a dancy sort of beat, then back again to a jazz improvisation that finishes it off with a jam that could turn the sun blue and your hands switch places with your feet.
