Tame Impala is Kevin Parker’s psychedelic rock project hailing from Perth, Australia. Initially signed with Modular Recordings, they are now also associated with Interscope Records.

The band gained recognition in 2010 with the launch of their debut album, Innerspeaker. The name is inspired by the impala, a medium-sized antelope. They describe themselves as:

A steady flowing psychedelic groove rock band that emphasizes dream-like melody.

Here is another description, previously linked to their website:

Tame Impala is the movement in the Orion Nebula and the slime from a snail journeying across a footpath. To humans, however, Tame Impala is more of a ‘music ensemble,’ but its various other forms should not be disregarded (colour that humans can see is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, the rest is just as important to other things).
