“Patience” by Tame Impala

By the time “Indie” bands transition from the club to the stadium, the journey can often distort the magic and sparkle that once kept early fans longing for more. In the age of social media and “ala carte” entertainment this is especially true, since now it's easier to follow, miss or become distracted from your “new” favorite artists.

Over the last 11 years, it’s been a genuine pleasure to watch the career of Kevin Parker and his Tame Impala project. I hoped - though never thought -that his work would not only become as popular as it has, but influence as many of the newer independent musicians of today. More importantly, he has achieved this success and critical acclaim while sticking to his retrospective creative guns and releasing music without much, if any, compromise.

“Patience” is a single released this past March and continues with the psychedelic post disco sound we started hearing from him with Currents. It’s a shout out to Andrea True, Mickie Most, star bursts, and that lovely saturated soft knee trippy compression I adore. Keep it up mate, you haven’t lost this longtime fan.
