To mark today’s release of the InnerSpeaker 10 Year Anniversary Edition via Island Records Australia, Tame Impala aka Kevin Parker reveals InnerSpeaker Memories. The short film captured in the halcyon days by Matt Sav and edited by Alex Haygarth features never-before-seen footage from the recording of InnerSpeaker at the idyllic Wave House Studio in Western Australia. Watch here.
For the 10th anniversary of its release, Tame Impala presents a deluxe, 4LP reissue of the debut album InnerSpeaker. Recorded in 2009 in Western Australia, InnerSpeaker was Parker’s first full length missive and an explosive invitation into what would become his inimitable psych-tinged world.
This expanded deluxe edition of the album features the singles Solitude Is Bliss, Lucidity, Expectation amongst the original album track list, plus:
- A collage of album sketches
- An unearthed, side-long jam
- New mixes of tracks off the original album
- Instrumentals
- A deluxe 40-page booklet
In addition, the Tame Impala web-store has been updated with a brand new InnerSpeaker range, including new t-shirt designs, a deluxe blanket and throw pillow. Visit https://official.tameimpala.com/
Parker has emerged as one of the most influential voices of the last decade. The Slow Rush, Tame Impala’s multi-award winning, internationally acclaimed fourth studio album was released in 2020. The album landed at #1 in Australia and multiple territories and was his highest charting album to date in both the US and UK with 14 top 10 chart positions around the world. The album serves as a deep reflection on the passage of time. "The Slow Rush is an extraordinarily detailed opus," said Pitchfork. "I have to marvel that all this sound and history comes from Parker alone, picking every string and twisting every knob." The Slow Rush has amassed over one billion streams and counting.
In addition to its chart success, he recently took home Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album, Engineer of the Year and Producer of the Year at the ARIA Awards. Parker was nominated for two GRAMMY Awards in 2021 for Best Alternative Album and Best Rock Song for the single Lost In Yesterday. This marks the third nomination in the Alternative category for Parker, having previously been nominated for Currents and Lonerism. The Slow Rush was also nominated for two Billboard Music Awards and an American Music Award (AMA).
Thanks to the ravenous demand of fans for a transcendent live performance, Tame Impala has headlined festivals and theatres around the world and released four full length albums - InnerSpeaker, Lonerism, the RIAA Platinum-Certified Currents and The Slow Rush. As a writer and producer Parker has collaborated with The Weeknd, Travis Scott, SZA, Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Kanye West, Kali Uchis, Theophilus London, Miguel, A$AP Rocky and more.
Following rapturously received Tame Impala Sound System performances in Perth earlier this month, Tame Impala's rescheduled tour will commence in 2021 at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Saturday 5 December and continue through Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
