Video: Tame Impala - Expectation

Believe it or not I'm often thrown off the scent by band names that don't make sense to me. For this crazy reason I'm far more predisposed to clicking on a song by a group with a simple moniker. So up to last week I had avoided seeking out the charms of Perth's Tame Impala (Impala is an antelope like creature). It's a mistake I'm going to have to rectify given that new song 'Apocalypse Dreams', from the bands yet to be released sophomore 'Lonerism', has produced a quart of salivation from my normally salivation-free ear canals. This is a [...]

• Tame Impala - Apocalypse Dreams

It's July. So that means that we have less than a month before one of the biggest lineups the country has ever seen hits Byron Bay for this year's  Splendour In The Grass  installment. But before we paint our dad's van, buy one of those inflatable palm trees and spend $300 on goon bags and orange juice in anticipation for the festival - we decided to take one last look at the bill. And whilst we already knew that the massive headliners, such as Bloc Party, Jack White and [...]

Tame Impala at Bowery Ballroom ( more by Lionel Bergeron ) Tame Impala is confirmed to play the sold-out Coachella Festival , but it looks as if the Aussie band is filling in North American dates with Yuck around that appearance, including April 25th at Webster Hall .

(Fairly) new one from Tame Impala.

Tame Impala have a knack for rather unusual videos. While not as spectacular as ‘Lucidity’, 'Expectation is pretty neat. Tame Impala's fuzzy psychedelic rock is one of the great finds of 2010 with album Innerspeaker one of the picks of the year.

Tame Impala have been plugging away at things since we first had a look at them back in June. They made a great video for 'Lucidity', and now we get another, less worldly video. 'Expectation' is a breather from the fierce pace of their album Innerspeaker. The video was directed [Read more]

Tame Imapla offers another video from their fantastic 2010 release, Innerspeaker , which has been getting some well-deserved year-end attention. I saw the band opening for MGMT earlier this year and thought they stole the show. Elsewhere: Gorilla vs. Bear , Captains Dead , and Matty B share their favorite albums of the year. NPR shares live concerts from Langhorne Slim , Junip and Explosions In The Sky . Milwaukee's [...]

Filmée paraît-il à Rueuil Malmaison, la vidéo de Expectations des australiens psychédéliques Tame Impala n'atteint pas les sommets (c'est le cas de le dire) de celle de Lucidity , leur précédent single. Pas grave, le titre lui est toujours extrait d' Innerspeaker , qui figurera en très bonne place dans notre classement de fin d'année... via

Tampe Impala continúa exprimiendo material de su álbum debut, Innerspeaker , y claro que ello no podría suceder si las 11 pistas que conforman la placa de estudio no tuvieran desperdicio alguno. Aunque hace muy poco habían presentado un video para “Lucidity” , los australianos acaban de lanzar un clip oficial para la canción “Expectation” . La canción de esta oportunidad hace un gran contraste con aquella nombrada anteriormente, ejemplificando los dos tipos de temas que podemos encontrar en el disco. Mientras la anterior apelaba a un estilo [...]

Filmed in a forest in Paris, France, "Expectations" is off their debut album, ' Innerspeaker '. We recently caught them in Melbourne (Photo below). Tame Impala @ The Palace, Melbourne, Australia 2010 Tame Impala - Expectations facebook

New video today from our favourite Aussie export Tame Impala. 'Expectation' is yet another gem from the utterly brilliant Innerspeaker album (Best Of 2010 hint hint). The video was directed by Clemens Habicht in spare time in between recent European tour dates. It almost perfectly captures their vibe. Enjoy....
