If I was transfixed on EP1, when their debut album, Innerspeaker dropped, I was a full-on fan. Plus, they had song titles like “41 Mosquitoes Flying in Formation,” which made you wonder where this dude’s head was at. They basically combined all of my favorite things in music in a way that no one was doing at that time. Kevin’s bewitching falsetto vocals drenched in reverb singing these wonderful yet somehow insolent melodies, swirly psychedelic guitars, and live drums that sounded like they came right off a boom bap hip-hop record. I was absolutely transfixed from day one. I first discovered Tame Impala in the summer of 2009 with their very first EP.
Tame Impala graced the cover of The FADER 82 in the fall of 2012 right before dropping their now classic breakthrough record, Lonerism. Today, I’m talking to my good friend and a frequent collaborator of mine, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala. This is The FADER Uncovered with Mark Ronson. And it’s an opportunity for me to speak to some of the artists that I most admire. The podcast is a chance for us to talk about the past, present and future reflecting on their breakthroughs, diving into their lives when their covers hit shelves, and discussing what the future might hold now. Each episode will be rooted in these musicians’ iconic FADER cover stories, an institution that over the past two decades has told artists’ stories like no other. In this interview series, I’ll be speaking with some of the most influential and groundbreaking musicians in the world, from genre-defining stars to avant-garde trailblazers about their lives and careers. I’m Mark Ronson, and this is the FADER Uncovered podcast.
