Video: Tame Impala – “Let It Happen”

Tame Impala shared a video for Currents cut "Let it Happen". The tune might be my overall favorite on the excellent record and the video captures the mood of the song quite well, although this is a radio edit which kind of bums be out since it is such a killer tune. The band team up with David Wilson to handle directing duties again for this frightening journey into one man’s mind.

Listen: Pond – “Giant Tortoise” (Tame Impala Side Project)

Tame Impala’s side project, Pond, have shared the first single off their upcoming album, Hobo Rocket. “Giant Tortoise” is a psychedelic rock affair that should please anyone who calls them self a fan of Impala’s work, with stacked layers fuzzed-out guitars and booming echoing vocals. Apperently the band will release the record this spring with each member is also planning to release solo albums and side projects on the same day. 

Video: Tame Impala - "Mind Mischief"

Tame Impala's video for Lonerism's "Mind Mischief" is a take on the age-old student/hot teacher fantasy with an animated psychedelic twist. Both British director David Wilson and the band are no strangers to the genre having both gone the animation route before.

Video: Tame Impala - "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards"

There is a sweet new 2D animated video for the new Tame Impala track, "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" of their latest album, Lonerism.  The video consists of over 1000 hand painted plasticine collages, created by Becky Sloan & Joseph Pelling.

The amount of work to create this is pretty impressive.  Check out Becky & Joe's site to see more of their work and some behind the scenes images from the making of the video.
