Tame Impala

Despite what’s coming out of your speakers might lead you to believe, your drink wasn’t actually spiked. It just turns out Pandora felt it was high time to introduce you to Tame Impala, a band that manages to embody the psychedelic sound of the ’70s better than Clapton himself. While the band members are local heroes in their native Australia, Tame Impala’s sound has been generally overshadowed in the States by acts like Wolfmother and JET—both of which also hail from the land down under, coincidentally. However, with the release of the band’s first album, Innerspeaker, last year, Tame Impala’s foothold on the global music scene couldn’t be off to a more promising start—the band’s debut US tour was opening for MGMT.
