Lonerism FICTION
Kevin Parker’s breakout 2012 album released as a triple LP set.
Drummer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker recorded Tame Impala’s second album largely solo at home in Perth, Australia. Compared to 2010’s debut, there are more electronics and samples, and Parker sounds more’s psychedelic feel, but whereas 60s psychedelia expanded minds through a more demonstrative and outgoing use of sonic disorientation, Parker’s music doesn’t give up its secrets so readily. Although it has a muscularity and presence, once inside, the listener feels adrift in a kind of woozy, perfumed haze.
