It's proto prog of the 00's.

I'm gonna toss them into Psych Team, but many difficulties for evaluation will lie ahead of them maybe.
Anyway, thanks desistindo for your suggestion. |

Very nice band. They sound like Dungen, minus the prog. The melodies and the vocal harmonies are splendid.

They've already been evaluated in Psych Team and voted "MOVE (to Crossover)".

Crossover would work for me with Tame Impala ...though I would have thought Psych/Space as the first port of call
Great to see a local band from my neck o' the woods getting discussed  |

Wow, Coops is back! Maybe this also means the return of the cover game?

I very much like Tame Impala. I myself think they are at least a little progressive. What is prog anyways.

I love them, but they kind of snuffed Swedish band Dungen's sound and made it more straightforward. Plus, the single most alluring part of the equation is that the singer sounds like the perfect combination of Lennon and McCartney...
Maybe Prog related? I don't really care, I dig em just the same. |

Just wondering if we might need to re-visit this band...
 They released a new album called 'Lonerism' on 8th October 2012, which gets decent enough reviews pretty-well everywhere, and featured in four of the UK 'Prog' magazine critics 'top 20 albums of the year' lists, with an overall rating of #10.Not my own personal cup of tea, it must be said...but for anyone who would like to check it out
- here's the full album on YouTube: |

I loved Lonerism, but it just got them further away from any Prog connection, IMO.

In my opinion, the new album "Lonerism" is more precisely Psychedelic a bit spacey to be fair and pop-ish. Anyway, going to see them play this Saturday.

I like! Thanks for turning me on to something new. Parts sound reminiscent of early Pink Floyd to me. Will have to search out more of their stuff.

Very cool band. Glad to see them being discussed. I don't think I ever thought of TI as Prog but it's all good. I would like to ask if anyone has heard or heard of the band POND? POND is a side project of some of the members of TI. Pretty trippy sounding and I guess they would fall under the "Psych" label. Give 'em a listen.

I love both Tame Impala albums, I think they have a perfect blend of trippy freak outs and spacey, etheral pop melodies. Some of those guitar tones are gorgeous! A great 'headphones' band too, I can't wait to see them live.

"Lonerism" is definitely more of a step in the pop direction, but not in a band way. just more melody at times and good ones at that. I would say more psych than prog.
