Tame Impala –
‘Remember Me’

Streaming removed on request of label.

Since we’re on the topic of psych bands I thought I should mention that I heard some certain people in the industry are trying to pick on the next trend and they’ve decided that psychedelic bands could-just-be the next big retro revival. And that this Tame Impala band is the one they’ve picked on to capitalise on that could-just-be true trend return. When I got to their MySpace, the first song that came on was a cover of Blue Boy’s 1999 ‘Remember Me’, which uses a sample of an obscure 1970s song called Woman of the Ghetto sung by Marlena Shaw. In all it’s fuzzy demo glory, this cover is pretty enjoyable.

    excellent choice! this track is going to be huge, rumour has it there’s a modular deal in the works . . .

  2. [...] Wenn man den einschlägigen Musikblogs Australiens glauben darf, dann überschwemmt gerade eine Welle neuem psychedelischen Rocks Australien, deren Ausläufer Europa bestimmt bald erreichen werden. Ganz oben auf Welle schwimmen dabei die drei jungen Musiker von Tame Impala aus Perth. Ihr erster Song ist das Cover ‘Remember Me’ von Blue Boy’s. [über: Who The Bloody Hell Are They?] [...]

    im so feeling this one .. modular found a band on the same plane as wolfmother.

  4. Bilbo Baggins says:

    I can’t wait to see what the future brings this band. I know these guys personally and they have a virtually limitless well of talent.

  5. Sandi says:

    It’s not a trend to capitalise,it’s a band that strikes your chord,after being needy for a long bit. Think spontaneous,here.

  6. camo says:

    I Just heard Tame Impala’s Half Full Glass Of Wine and think its one of the best things that has come out in a long time especially amongst all this Steryle Synthesised Pop with no substance.

  10. Kim says:

    I think they’ve got a lot of potential but they still need a lot of work – some good production .

  11. cime says:

    there not a trend band, there psychdelic hard rock,

    timeless,

    wat trend, one other psychadelic band (wolfmother) doesn’t make it a trend

  12. george says:

    tame impala are a breath of fresh air… i could see why you would draw comparisons with wolfmother… though wolfmother were over the top and teetering on cheesy at times… tame impala write well structured songs and the experience of playing together for a long time really shows
