← Back | Musician | 5 Music Videos
Tame Impala, the psychedelic music project of Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, has positively shaken the music scene, all while eliciting a tapestry of visuals that through their videos turn into psychedelic journeys. A sound derived from indie rock, synthesizers and dream-like pop makes Tame Impala's music the perfect backdrop for innovative video direction. Remember their video for "The Less I Know The Better," directed by Canada? Using a surrealist narrative, interspersed with pop culture references, it has been crowned one of the best music videos of the decade by numerous publications.
It's quite intriguing that Parker, being the only member of Tame Impala, records, produces, and mixes his music by himself, yet he’s able to create this expansive sound that takes listeners on a rollercoaster-like voyage. Interestingly enough, Parker has cited his fear of flying as an inspiration for the band's 2015 track 'Let It Happen'. The video, directed by David Wilson, follows the journey of a traveller stuck in an endless loop of airport chaos, perfectly capturing the sense of panic in the song's frenzy beats. As an expression of the loop that is life, the video for "Cause I'm a Man" teleports the viewer into a locomotion of figures pulsating to the rhythm of the music.
From Parker’s amusing fear of air travel to the unique mixing of his music, his music videos consistently reflect his eccentric mind and the intricate sounds of Tame Impala.
