42 INDIE / ROCK www.guestlist.net INDIE ALBUM OF THE MONTH: Tame Impala - I nnerspeaker Issue 44 / 2012 GUESTLIST RECOMMENDS DIRTY PROJECTORS and revived the ghost of psychedelia with their second album Innerspeaker. After disappearing into "the middle of butt-fuck nowhere", the aussie four-piece holed up in a simple beach shack in Wave House, Injidup, to focus entirely on their music and lay down some new tracks. Four hours south of Perth, with 180 degree views of the Indian Ocean, the band were totally isolated from the outside world. With no Internet, no phone Tame Impala have travelled through the 'doors of perception' this year TV, their instruments and recording reception and no the sole reminders of modern life, and the technology we take for granted. Extreme, yes, but the approach has equipment were worked a treat. 'Elephant' is a masterful lead track and shows the band have fulfilled their early promise with some blistering psych-pop. They have dragged their heavy guitar sound through a barren landscape, the desert like Jim Morrison in Wayne's World II, full of otherworldly knowledge and insight, ready to fill Indie dance floors from here to John o' Groats. Psychedelic rock is a poisoned chalice for so many bands, who try and fail to reach the level of the early exponents like Pink Floyd, Mark Bolan and The Doors. But Tame Impala strike the perfect balance between the vintage sound of these 70s psych-rock gods with added splices of contemporary electronica. emerging from The indie-rock American band is kicking off with their latest releases including Swi Lo Magell an, the album which features 'About to Die' and the short film Hi Custodi JAKE BUGG @ KOKO, 14 NOVEMBER Longstreth´s band's new four track EP comes after the release of their last album Swing Lo Magellan, and will be available digitally and on 12" vinyl on the 6th November. The video, which accompanies the EP's main track, has images from Hi Custodian, David Longstreth's short film, which features music from Swing Lo Magellan and was premiered two weeks ago at New York's prestigious Sunshine Cinema. Dirty Projectors is an experimental rock indie-pop and avant-garde project created by Dave Longstreth when he was a Yale freshmen in 2003. The band got certain notoriety in 2005 with the release of the album 'The Getty Address', where they played with 25 musicians which has been described as a "glitch opera". Two albums later, in 2008, they started with Domino Records. They collaborated in charity projects such as 'Dark Was The Night' with David Byrne and another one with Björk, with who they also partnered in the EP 'Mount Wittenberg Orca'. After the an. ng Bitte Orca, the first album they released with Domino Records, the Brooklyn- based experimental band created high expectations. The album made the top 10 lists of Time and Pitchfork, led to the band's first late-night TV performances and has sold 86,000 copies. But the first success achieved with the album impressions of the album announcement is that it accomplished them, as it's seen by the critics as a work at the hight of their success and also maybe their most personal work as we can see the band's footprint in their rhythm games, harmonic sense, its dispersion in certain moments, the unexpected Longstreth melodies and the girl's chorus. The "fearlessly thoughtful" band, as it's been tagged, will be touring Japan and Europe before coming back to the States, where they will perform at New York City's Carnegie Hall in 11th January 2013. The Las Vegas giants return to the shores of our humble little island with new material that promises to cause a Hot Fuss among indie rock fans.
