Tame Impala

Tame Impala has always been good.

Tame Impala's self-titled EP is the second project released by Kevin Parker under this moniker, shortly after their first EP. On this project, even if the tunes aren't the most memorable in the world, you can already see a big improvement when it comes to the production and mixing of their tracks. All the tracks are multi-phased and have that classic psychedelic rock sound I love from Tame Impala. It's a pretty strong EP that foreshadowed how ... read more

1. Desire Be Desire Go - 85
2. Skeleton Tiger - 70
3. Half Full Glass of Wine - 75
4. 41 Mosquitoes Flying In Formation - 60
5. Slide Through My Fingers - 70
6. Wander - 75

This EP showed potential but wasn’t a strong one overall, it would frequently become repetitive and messy.

A big step towards the sound we know today. Also an improvement over the last EP

showed glimpses of what they will become ( or he refer to him as you want ) 41 mosquitoes flying in formation high key a banger tho

This EP sounds straight out of the 60s/70s Psych rock scene, like the way he captures that sound is absolutely unreal. Most the songs also sound straight off of The Beatles white album and I don't know if I'm crazy for hearing that but it feels right.
And Tame Impala sounds like Forty One Mosquitoes Flying In Formation in the best possible way. Overall just a great early project from him!

o verdadeiro debut ep do tame impala....
Depois de um debut de REMIXES Tame Impala lança esse ep que é seu verdadeiro debut no mundo da musica, e não é nada foda, mas é bom

A produção é bem psicodelica e beem acida, é provavel o album mais acido dele, mais doido, maluco, e ela é interresante mesmo que as vezes seja meio chata

Finalmente temos o Kevin cantando igual um gay femboy aqui, e as vocais não são ... read more

It’s a decent start to a fantastically enjoyable discography

probably the lowest score i’ll ever give him

goated production

the amount of noise distortion is obnoxious af which is such a shame because the vibes are good on this one

41 mosquitoes is hella underrated

Kevin Parker's starts up with an EP that promises a career worth following

The only thing I obtain from Tame Impala's self-titled debut is the very present late 60's psychedelic influence of the Beatles. Not much else to say.

Desire Be Desire Go: 80
Skeleton Tiger: 60
Half Full Glass of Whine: 80 ★
41 Mosquitos Flying In Formation: 80 ★
Slide Through My Fingers: 60
Wander: 80 ★

Average: 73,33 / 100

Idk dude it’s just the first album with less songs and as a single

Nice start

my fucking god i love this EP the muffled production is so sexy and every song is memorable i really fucking enjoy this

Tame Impala show a lot of potential on this EP, and they would go on to do even better in the 2010's and so on. This project has some nice 60s psych rock influences along with a hint of garage rock thanks to those gritty guitars

Fave Tracks: "41 Mosquitos Flying In Formation"; "Skeleton Key" (the iTunes bonus track "Wander" would be up there too)

Tame Impala's debut self-titled EP is a bit interesting. A very unique sound yet terrible mixing. Not too enjoyable to listen to because of this, but it's still a pretty fun project. The roots of his psychedelic sound are very much present on these tracks.

1. Desire Be Desire Go (5)
2. Skeleton Tiger (5)
3. Half Full Glass of Wine (8)
4. 41 Mosquitoes Flying in Formation (5)
5. Slide Through My Fingers (6)

Well this will scare the Currents fans.

The debut, self-titled EP from Tame Impala may feel a little dated on listen, but tracks such as A Half Full Glass Of Wine have cemented themselves as still being some of his best work to date. A very strong, consistent EP from start to finish, really nailing that 60's sound that he became famous for, granting him the title of sounding like a modern day "The Beatles". An incredibly consistent EP that still holds it own after over 11 years.

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

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
