This is what I consider to be Kevin's first, proper, fleshed out EP. Consisting of 6 tracks, but for some reason the track 'Wander' isn't added onto the AOTY track list, don't know why, but it is what it is.
Tame Impala's self-titled EP, and it honestly did not disappoint, I'm fairly surprised, this is Kevin's first ever proper music release and he's absolutely bossed it, what a great first impression. The tracks sound really raw, you can tell that ... read more
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, it's a Tame Impala rush!
Tame Impala's self-titled EP is actually pretty impressive for their first (or second) project. On this EP they go for a 60's psychedelic rock sound, very much reminiscent of the Beatles when they were transitioning into their psychedelic sound.

I felt the urge to want to go back and re listen to all of tame impalas music and give my updated thoughts and also listen to the music I haven’t heard from them yet. I can see that this is a good starting point for game impala. I think the instrumentation is solid but the atmosphere is nowhere near as creative or well expanded as their future projects.

The raw sound is good but quality really is a problem i get this was their first ep and that studio budget usually is a problem and effects the quality of the audio but the tracks arent that great in my opinion
Took me ages to get to listening to this for some reason, pretty good debut, half full glass of wine is fire, it definitely feels like a less polished version of innerspeaker but that’s okay, it’s still tame impala therefore it is fire
Such an interesting EP. You can already hear a lot of the ideas and psychedelic sound that Tame Impala would later perfect on the albums. I love how distorted it is, hell yeah.
FAV: Half Full Glass Of Wine, Desire Be Desire Go and 41 Mosquitoes Flying In Formation
