Every Tame Impala fan loves to repeat the fact that all instruments and vocals, as well as all production, mixing and (some) mastering are by one man, Kevin Parker : )

Yes geebz you have to watch the MV to fully experience it! Their best song by far... the most meaningful for me at least

Geebz, the album this song comes from, Currents, is probably the best modern psyche album of the last few decades. Listening to it start to finish, especially the first 8 tracks, is an unbelievable sonic journey that is so damn cathartic. The opening track Let It Happen is masterpiece. Listen to it on the beach during sunset to dusk on a beautiful day, you won't be dissapointed.

100% agree - been bumping this on a regular basis since it came out 8 (!) years ago. One of my all-time favourite albums. The production on this album is incredible; the drums in particular are crispy as hell. Skull Snaps tried to sue him for using their famous 'It's New Day' break on 'Eventually' but it's all original drums :)

Absolutely perfect pairing, especially considering where the album was mastered. In Yallingup, Western Australia at a studio called the Beach House. I grew up and live in Western Australia, and have actually been to parties in my younger years where KP and some of the members of Pond would be hanging out in North Perth. It's a great place to live because some amazing things and people have come from here but it's also such a small population for such a large and diverse state. In fact, I went to high school and shared home room with Melanie Perkins, she created Canva. Small town, great vibes.

I remember, not the moment but the feeling I got the first time I heard this song, I wish to feel that again I was completely engaged to the song, melody, lyrics, and psychedelic pop. DAMN. One of my favorite songs of all time.

The Bee Gees influence is so strong with Tame Impala, it's like a modern version of them blended with indie rock instrumentation. So it's not quite an 80s revival, nor a typical indie band, instead it's something completely new, yet the emotional core of it is something we all know intimately within ourselves.

Great to see you listening to Tame Impala! You might be interested to know that "Tame Impala" is actually a single person: Kevin Parker! He writes all the songs, sings, and performs all the instruments! Also, I'd highly recommend the track : "Let It Happen" from the same album

He also produces everything.

8:25 In samba, usually played with a seven strings guitar, a very commom thing to do is what we brazillians call "baixarias", where between some verses as a counterpoint, the player do some bass lines in the 7th string, just like Kevin do. An good example for it's in the verses of Cartola's "Preciso me encontrar"

While hes not really my cup of tea for vocals, the production on this as well as the dreamy aesthetic about the effects on his voice are phenomenal, very well crafted.

Check out some of his early songs like Half Full Glass of Wine, he sings much differently, I like it more.

Really great breakdown! You helped me hear parts of the track I'd never noticed before like the guitar arpeggiation at the end.

Thank-you for your incredibly insightful analysis of Kevin's work, I really enjoyed the music theory/terminology as a classically trained musician myself! :D

Loved the first bit of analysis; insane depth and attentiveness to pretty much everything that was going on from listening only to the first 1 minute 😂👍

I think it's one of the best produced pop song of recent years. For me only Daft Punk's "Giorgio by Moroder" comes close

No idea how this came on my feed but glad I watched it. Do some more music reviews my man! I loved listening to you breakdown one of my favorite songs and would love to hear your takes on bands like The Arcs or Greta Van Fleet!

Love Tame Impala, I usually listen to his stuff at the gym. Let it Happen is one of my favs. This is probably more appropriate to ask on your main channel, but I'd love if you did a reaction to HOME - Resonance!

This is one of my FAVOURITE songs ever!!!!

Boy was this a chill piece of music

I've been waiting for a tame impala song on this channel forever. I can't even suggest a song because they're all fantastic

Love this song and love your insights. This whole album is great, definitely recommend you check it out. FYI - Tame Impala is one Australian guy, Kevin Parker, and I've heard that he writes and records everything himself in studio and then brings in musicians when in goes on tour.

I really enjoyed this reaction! I just wanted to share a fun fact that the intro bass line is actually played on a guitar with an octave pedal to make it sound like a bass. It definitely adds to it's uniqueness!

I could have sworn I watched a video a couple weeks ago with this guy doing a reaction/review of "Elephant" he did 3 years ago. 😂😂😂

Fantastic analysis of one of the best bands of the last decades. Long live Kevin Parker!

David Gilmore had said one time in a interview that Tame Impala is the Pink Floyd of this new era

Listen to New Person, Same Mistakes. Kevin is very knowledgeable about drum and synth sounds, love to hear him speak about that in interviews

Great review! your reaction at 5:18 is 100% the same as mine.

Thanks for reacting to Tame Impala. This song is brilliant advertising for Tame Impala's entire discography. His junior album "Currents" is cosy and an absolute classic. Do some of The Strokes! I recommend "Selfless" or "The Adults Are Talking" it's their new album, which is different to their earlier stuff, and it's very chill, deep, yet retrospective.

Yes please do more by Tame Impala! Kevin Parker is the GOAT

Just for a heads up, if no one has said. Tame Impala is just a singular person for the most part, Kevin Parker. He mixes a lot of those songs. He does play with a band live but for the most past that is all him

7:16 hit a feeling in there. That part of the song is very melancholy.

Love the Dead artwork !

whats insane about this song is the fact that kevin played everything and i mean EVERYTHING but the drums on his guitar, the piano and synths and bass are all done with the roland gk3 synth pickup on a squier j mascis jazzmaster and processed through roland's mk-55 guitar synthesizer, the bass is the p-bass setting on that run through overdrive and i believe he said chorus and compression. the rhodes were played on guitar which is why the inversions are interesting on it and the synths were also done by guitar. kevin wrote this album while traveling a lot so he didnt have access to most his gear so he recorded almost everything on guitar.

listen to apocalypse dreams! kevin’s second album lonerism is a psychedelic rock/pop masterpiece. to be honest, his first 3 are fantastic, his fourth was great.

This is great man. love your style of reacting. Tame impala is the goat. I'd love to see your take on The Dripping Tap by King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard or Slow by black midi

Man you stay uploading music I love. Tame Impala is amazing! They're on a newer track called New Gold by Gorillaz, which is worth a listen. Also, Oil by Gorillaz ft. Stevie Nicks is a phenomenal track all around.

A great take on one of my favourite songs. Since I'm new to this channel, I'm sure you've explaied this before, but what is "sissle (sizzle?) on the bass?

The main riff is fun to play on the bass

His most recent album, The Slow Rush, is full of really cool bangers

I love this. Often we just hear music and don’t think about every detail. But you going over all the effects, bass, etc it really shows how creative and detailed Kevin is at creating amazing songs.

Would love to see you react to let it happen

That bass sound was actually the acapela unplugged baseline from when he was grabbing the line from his imagination and didn't even take time to plug it in 😱☺️🏆 kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYiAl6iTgdnLfaw.htmlsi=uQBMRzQDITCZhT0g

I see that Mr. Geebz is getting closer to reacting to Macintosh Plus 420... Considering that you've listened to this song it's getting closer to vaporwave genre of music.

React to more tame Impala, you’ll be mind blown by Let it Happen, New Person Same old Mistakes, Mind Mischief, etc all of his music is fantastic

These dudes are from where i am... Western Australia... Actually a pretty solid amount of musicians and the odd actor from here considering we are pretty isolated with a low population. John Butler Inxs Tame impala Acdc's Bon Scott is buried here Eskimo joe Pendulum Drapht (a rapper, he recently did some of his earlier songs with the WA symphony orchestra which was cool) Think Isla Fisher moved back here with Sacha (or at least she had for a time over covid) Ben Elton (writer of the young ones lives here)

I wish people had recommended something weirder, I love that song but it's one of his poppiest and it's be fun to see him react so something way more out of left field. :p

My elderly ears have been listening to TI since 2012 ❤

Love the new albums from Tame Impala (I consider this a new album, even though it's been seven years since the release of this track) - but I gotta say, I love his first couple albums even more - they're grungier, more "alt", less electronic. Kevin Parker does it all and keeps doing it, and I'm here for it all.

Does this guy realize just one person? I dont think so Which I appreciate. Cool videos

7:16 was a moment

Awesome stuff mate. Can you do another video about Let It Happen, also made by Tame Impala? That song is a sound engineering masterpiece. Pretty, please

Love TI

If you were to guess between 1 and 5 how many people were in this band how many people would you guess are in it?

I really enjoyed your review of this song! I myself enjoy Tame Impala very much so it was definitely a pleasant experience I don't mind the title of your channel, if I could recommend something it would be to have consistent branding across your channels "KeyofGeebz" "GeebzWorldReview" I also don't want to give you the impression you're doing anything wrong, as long as your enjoying yourself is all that matters.. But, if editing this video, in post I would recommend splicing the specific moments in songs that you're referencing when you pause to review - for example when talking about the sizzling of the Bass, splicing in 4-12 seconds of footage of the song itself will let listeners know exactly what you're referencing (Useful for helping viewers with untrained ears) Regardless, thanks for being you & hope you enjoy your coffee!

React to Garou's theme "I'm a monster" next

Tame Impala (Kevin Parker), "That song originally I thought shouldn't be on a Tame Impala album, because it has this dorky, white disco funk. I wouldn't call it cheesy, but it's not trying to be too cool, because the lyrics are pretty dorky and the groove is pretty dorky. But at the same time, for me, I love that kind of music. I don't know why, but I've been obsessed with disco for the last year or two."
