''It's nothing different'' has been an accusation I've heard leveled at Tame Impala more than once. There is a definite throwback to the likes of Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin in Parker's work. The change lyric rings true; some things have changed. The guitar effects are works of art in their own right, the guitar plays a huge part; the sound and impact it creates is equally huge.
Runway etc. contains an absolutely wondrous guitar solo for the last two minutes or so.Two slightly different pieces played over and over again. Each note is a clean, warm and ambient sound. Each note blending into the other smoothly rising to powerful crescendos.
The N-Man will be seeing them in August and eagerly awaits the prospect.
