Tame Impala’s second album ‘Lonerism’ will be released as a 3Disc box set on May 26.
Kevin Parker says of the album that it is “difficult to sum up what the album means to me at this point. It was a pretty special time making the music for me. In a way, it’s when I truly discovered myself as an artist. Coming off the back of ‘Innerspeaker’ I had this new sense of purpose…calling…whatever you want to call it. I had finally given myself permission to let music take over my being completely…to become totally immersed in my own world of recording music. So I had this new sense of creative freedom. I felt free to be ambitious, weird, pop, experimental, whatever, and didn’t feel judged because I was finally just doing it for myself and believed in myself. For the most part anyway…”
‘Lonerism’ was the first international success for Tame Impala, reaching no 4 in Australia, no 14 in the UK and no 34 in the USA.
The album featured three singles, ‘Elephant’, ‘Feels Like We Only Go Backwards’ ad ‘Mind Mischief’.
