Tame Impala - Lucidity
Psych rock quartet Tame Impala from Perth dazzle with a rockin' good track off their debut album "Innerspeaker". Blissful trippy beats and fuzzy guitars make this quite the treat. Signed to Modular Records, the people who brought you Cut Copy, Tame Impala is definitely set to start rocking our ears.
Tame Impala - It Is Not Meant To Be
Guitars take centrestage in this mindblowingly amazing song. Underneath all the new wavey comfy rhythm is a simple straightforward song about a guy who wants this girl, but she doesn't like the laid back life of weed and bumming that he leads. Although he knows he can't get her and she'd prolly just remain his friend, he's more than happy just to watch her.
LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yrself Clean
What a long song. Clocking in just under 9 minutes like many other songs in the album (i think it's bordering on insane), James Murphy slowly but not painstakingly (this man revels in his craft) builds layers upon layers in this song. An extended and almost repetitive intro that could have been a song unto it's own, I say almost because it has slight twists of lyrics that make it different in each verse. His easy speak-sing along with that regular tock totally doesn't prepare one for the ear-bliteration that occurs at 3:09. Here you see the legacy, of marrying new wave, 80s synths, electro-funk and what not artistically, that James has built. And as fitting a lead-in track for "This Is Happening", it also more than suitably marks the end of LCD Soundsystem, at least for quite some time to come, according to Mr Best-creator-of-dance-music. Meanwhile, just soak in the vibes and dance yourself clean.
