One of the best musicians of this decade.

OMG Geebz, if you're getting into Tame Impala, which btw is a great move into a genre you haven't covered yet, you have to check out the musical opus that is Let It Happen (studio recording) off of the Currents Album. There are so many compositional and arrangement nuances to it, and IMO, a tour de force of a song. A real masterwork album with a great deal of maturity, experimentation, and concept story arch.

We NEEEEED more Tame Impala! and this is coming from a huge metal guy, too. Let It Happen (studio version for the full song) by Tame Impala is my personal favorite. The production on it is insane. Each of his albums sound pretty significantly different from another. All of it has a psychadelic theme, and the kind of rock and pop it expresses that trippy theme through varies throughout Kevin's discography.

glad you did this one - he's a talented Aussie dude - mix of genres, influenced from various decades of rock music

Kevin Parker is actually one of the most talentd guys from this generation. The guy makes everything just hit different

FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for some Tame Impala reactions! Kevin Parker is a genius and such an inspiring musician/producer/mixing engineer

One of his greatest skills is writing basslines/riffs, so I think you would love his music in general.

elephant is the only tame impala song that sounds like elephant sounds. kevin parker (aka tame impala) does every instrument himself for the albums, and with each album, he reinvents the sound. the earliest tame impala albums (innerspeaker, lonerism) are solid alt, experimental, almost grungy rock, but the latest albums (currents, the slow rush) are much more electronic, soul, R&B, dance. but for my money, everything the guy does is psychedelic gold. probably my favorite band of the last decade. jane's addiction "three days" is my suggestion for a reaction vid. =) thanks for these!

More Tame Impala my man! Love hearing your perception of these tracks, and appreciate you putting the time in to show us.

I tell ya, "Nothing That Has Happened So Far..." is a bombtrack!

Was really excited to hear your take on this one. Tame impala are such an interesting project. The ‘trum trum trum’ marching beat heavy like an elephant was something For sure! I love the metal reacts etc but this is a pleasant turn. Great vid as always!

Tame Impala is part of a neo-psychedelic revival that's been going on outside of mainstream trends for about a decade now. Unknown Mortal Orchestra is another really good band doing similar stuff that's worth checking out; all their albums are fairly stylistically diverse, especially the past few, but a good place to start would be something like the title track off their album "Multi-Love".

Brother every few videos or so you release right as I’m getting my nightly smoke in. Those nights you get multiple rewatches, likes AND comments. Tonight is one of those nights. Great vid & song.

Definitely need to try more from Tame Impala, you'll never stop.

So happy to see Tame Impala on here! The song Let It Happen is what got me hooked on them.

New person same old mistakes is a beautiful piece, thank you for all you do!

oh, DIP. Love this band. Hopefully we'll se more of them, and you, on this channel! Lovely!

I always hear a touch of Knights of Cydonia in this track and I love it.

Very fun to watch you break it down!

Artist from my hometown ❤️ I’ve seen them live 4 times.....awesome!

Oh boy!!! Another rabbit hole to go down into!!! All his tracks have a little something to get you going! Aaawright!

So glad you're diggin' into tame impala, there's so many good songs to check out. I recommend checking out 'The Bold Arrow of Time' or 'Mind Mischief'. If you wanna hear the "big song", try 'The Less I Know The Better'.

"The less I know the better" and "Let it happen" are his best pieces of work

I'm not easily sucked into something but [this] guy got a hold on me - if I'm in the right state of mind, this music allows me to zone out for a little while. This is actually only one guy making all of these sounds layers vocals guitars - everything; pretty amazing to me as you and me are probably about the same age and I normally stick with the classics but keep an ear open for something new and fresh..like this

Youll really dig Mind Mischief. Really unique song

Please more tame Impala reactions! As a music nerd and a tame Impala superfan this is so fun to watch, and a very astute and Intuitive take on Kevin Parker!! Starting with innerspeaker I'm down to break it all down ! . so much gold here.

Have a listen to ‘king gizzard and the lizard wizard - people vultures’ another great Aussie band with 2 drummers playing at the same time.

Great video man!

I remember discovering this band back in my last few years of high school, fantastic psychedelic rock

Geebz, thanks for doing this band as I have requested them before. I feel like they will be a must continuing forward. They are one of the biggest acts in the world rn. The music is all written, produced, and engineered by a single Australian man, Kevin Parker. Diverse range of music that all falls under the psychedelic genre. Some great songs I think you'd dig is let it happen (studio version), apocalypse dreams, posthumous forgiveness, the less I know the better, mind mischief, lucidity, the list just goes on

What’s insane is how Tame Impala is completely involved with all aspects of the production of his music and he actually writes and records all his music and all the instruments himself. Dude is on another level 👌

Oh hell yes! I love this track!

Sweet! I haven't even watched this yet, but I'm excited.

Great reaction again dude! Feels Like We Only Go Backwards I think is one of the best "rock" songs of the past 20 years. But can't go wrong with other suggestions here. The Less I Know The Better and Alter Ego I would also start with. Early albums more psychedelic and rock-y, later albums more pop-y/dance-y.

You granted my wish! More Tame Impala! Every album is absolute magic and you get to really experience Kevin's evolution/exploration into music. From all kinds of instrumental bliss to different worlds of engineering wizardry. My top suggestions would be any of the first 3 songs from the first album (Innerspeaker), Why Wont They Talk To Me from the 2nd (Lonerism), The Moment from the 3rd (Currents), then Lost In Yesterday and/or It Might Be Time from his most recent album (The Slow Rush). It's so hard to choose, they're all so f***ing good...

So glad you got to these guys. Modern psychedelia has a tone of great stuff-coming in many varieties. Lots of comments on where to go next for Tame Impala so I’ll throw my suggestion in with Half Glass Full of Wine-great rock tune. Bit different from what I’ve seen you react to so far but I would love to hear your take on some songs from Animal Collective. They started as a noise band and traveled through various experimental sounds and psychedelic folk but they’re are mainly known for their experimental pop. Songs like No More Runnin, Loch Raven, or Safer would be my recommendations. Think their production would interest you!

I first heard this on a tv advert for Blackberry here in the UK,loved it and ended up getting the album it's from,Let It Happen is a great song to listen to with headphones

Hell yeah!!!! You gotta check out at least one of these... It is not meant to be, Apocalypse Dreams, Let it happen and Tomorrows dust!!! So glad you gave him a listen!

This is my favorite Tame Impala song. Probably other people have pointed this out too but it reminds me a lot of early Pink Floyd

So glad found your way to Tame Impala! Highly recommend anything off the latest album, or even the NPR Tiny Desk (Home) performance. 🤘

This whole album is just perfect.

Great band and great choice Geebz! I’d love to see you do some Minus The Bear...I think you’d enjoy them!

YAASS! Stoked you’re checking out Tame Impala! This track is kind of like NIN’s Closer in that it’s kind of a forward track but not that representative of his sound. Fortunately almost any track by this guy is sheer genius. For similar psychedelic rock see the rest of Lonerism and Innerspeaker, for his more clubby sound see Currents and Slow Rush. Highest recommended track for me is The Less I Know the Better (but just show the album cover to avoid the long, SNFW intro on the video). Cheers!

The Money comparison is a great one! Also dog fart got me 😂

Love your videos. when i watched the first few it sometimes bugged me when you would say 'I don't wanna go too far in depth, as a composer i dont want to demystify anything for the general listener', which i understood why 100%. But it doesnt bug me now because as a non general listener and as a musician i wanted the more in depth stuff straight away, but since i'm not getting it it's making me research the stuff more and actually learn it, so for that I thank you!!

You'll love Warpaint and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Amazing bands just like Tame Impala

The Smoke of Many Fires by Be'lakor. Great video as always!

Favorite Tame Impala song for me!!

We need more Tame Impala!

Yes please play “Let it Happen”. But for background Tame is Kevin Parker. This skinny Aussie dude who plays all the instruments on the record and records it all in his home studio. He’s a drummer by trade but learned all other instruments. What’s cool is he plays the drums through his tracks but then chops them up as if they were samples for the final production. He thrives on having this vintage psychedelic rock way of doing things. So glad you visited Impala country! Please do more!

"It Is Not Meant To Be" by Tame is pretty great. Progressive, yet poppy, with really colourful production.

More Tame Impala and you've got a new subscriber.

Recently found your channel when your reaction to Protest the Hero came on my feed (and patiently waiting for you to do another by them), and it’s been a pleasure following along and discovering new music or hearing them in a new way! A song that you might enjoy is Beer by Reel Big Fish. Not what you might typically listen to, but it has a nice groovy bass line :) Regardless if you check it or not, have an awesome day 😎

I've never heard this band until now. Sounds old and new all at once........ That's cool. The mix is way punchy and really unique. It's a really catchy, straight forward song with not so straight forward engineering. I should hear some more from this band.

Tame Impala is an Australian neo-psychedelic rock band in the form of one guy called Kevin Parker (although, when he performs live or wants to know how it sounds live in the studio, he is accompanied by a few band members). Parker plays all the instruments, writes all the songs, and produces all of them too. Tame Impala has been described as "a scientific experiment where, in an alternate timeline, John Lennon in 1966 decided to join Pink Floyd". There are 4 albums; the first two (Innerspeaker and Lonerism) are firmly in the 'neo-psychedelic rock' category whereas the latter two albums (Currents and The Slow Rush) are closer to disco/psychedelic pop. 'Elephant' is from Lonerism and is somewhat of an anomaly in their music as it is much bluesier than their usual songs. For a taste of each album I recommend checking out 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards', 'Why Won't You Make Up Your Mind?', 'The Less I Know the Better', and 'Is It True?'.

Great vids brother, lve me some tame impala

Kevin Parker is the name of the magic behind everything about this, and the other 3 albums by Tame Impala. From composition to instrumentation to production to recording, etc.

I would say that Tame Impala's sound design is his biggest asset

Super excited that you're checking out Tame! Would highly recommend Alter Ego. Love your channel. Keep cranking out the great content!

Spirit in the Sky.

Hey Geebz, been following your channel for a while now. I really dig the way you react to music, focusing on sounds as it comes to your ears. Love that Tame Impala made it here. They have open the path for a new scene of psychdelic rock in Australia, that have been resurrecting old psychdelic rock from late 60's but giving it a fresh new touch, specially playing with effects and sounds from this era, and recording and mixing in unorthodox ways. I know you will dig that and enjoy more in other songs from them like "Apocalypse Dreams".(i mean, maybe Elephant it's not their usual stuff) Also from this Australian scene, i know you covered King Gizzard & the Wizard Lizzard with "if not now then when" but you should really check their song "Crumbling Castle". I know you will hallucinate with their odd tempos, polyrythms and the recording and mixing they do homemade. Cheers from Argentina mate, keep it up!

More Tame Impala, thanks.

Let It Happen is pretty incredible. I'm sure you'd appreciate the production.

Thanks for checking out my favourite artist! I am sure the comment section will agree that Let It Happen is the song you should listen to next by Tame Impala. Cheers

Great video Geebz! Tame Impala has 2 near perfect albums earlier in their career. I'm asked before but if you could do Animal Collective's Did You See The Words that would be awesome! Keep it up man, fun content!

you should do more tame impala! great work. keep it up. waiting for let it happen.

I remember when I first heard this song in 2014 on the radio. It really sounded like beatles but after awhile it didn’t sound like them at all. Really great though I like the groove on it.

I not only envy this man's sonic recognition, but also the fact that he got to listen to a Tame Impala song for the first time here.

Now I finally know the name and artist of this track! Heard it on ads before, never knew where it came from

First off, love your breakdowns, Mr. Geebs. Second, I'd like to recommend something I think you would really enjoy the band Minus the Bear. Stand out tracks for me include Drilling, Memphis and 53rd, Summer Angel, Fooled by the Night, Dayglow Vista Rd, and Steel and Blood. Would love to get your breakdown of one of those songs. Minus the Bear is one of my favorite bands

Gorillaz - Last living souls. Idk if anyone here is familiar with it, but it's the opening off an album that topped UK charts and went six times platinum

They are the best!

We know you love a good trip, Geebz. 😅 Kevin/Tame Impala is trippy music for young hipsters. But yeah, highly recommend Let it Happen (album version).

Every new track you just get me to remember super awesome random stuff. You would surely love "and so i watch you from afar". Also there was an interesting project from sean lennon "ghost of a saber tooth tiger"
