Tame Impala New Album 'Currents' 2015-05-08 08:30 CEST TAME IMPALA NEW ALBUM ‘CURRENTS’ RELEASED WORLDWIDE FRIDAY JULY 17th Fans went into an online frenzy last week when Kevin Parker revealed another new song ‘Disciples’ during a Reddit.com fan Q & A. “I'm waiting for someone to ask me if they can hear a new song...!” announced Kevin, and in minutes the 1.48 min track became one of the hottest topics on social media. LISTEN TO *DISCIPLES' HERE ‘Eventually’, is expected to create the same online storm when the track is dropped today through all digital partners. LISTEN TO 'EVENTUALLY' HERE Currents was written, recorded, produced and mixed by Kevin Parker in Fremantle, West Australia. Lyrically the record finds Parker in a very different place in 2015 to where he was seven years ago. Transitions in life, relationships, perspectives, mindsets – Currents maps Parker’s evolution through these and finds him a brand new person. Musically, Currents sounds like the work of a player on top of his game and having a blast, Parker indulging his whims and unafraid to dive down the rabbit hole after an idea. Again operating as a one man studio band, Parker’s resultant record calls to mind contemporary hip hop production, Thriller, fried 70s funk, the irreverent playground Daft Punk presented on Discovery, swathes of future pop and emotional 80s balladry, all filtered through a thoroughly modern psychedelic third eye. A genre-bending soundscape fuelled equally by curiosity as it is consciousness; it’s an exhilarating new territory for Tame Impala. Typically, initial Tame Impala recordings saw Parker’s vocal hidden beneath a layer of psychedelic fuzz, drenched in reverb, lyrics ambiguous. Currents find’s Kevin Parker’s voice front and centre, so no bones are made about his intent. CURRENTS TRACKLISTING 1. Let It Happen 2. Nangs 3. The Moment 4. Yes I'm Changing 5. Eventually 6.

  • Examensuppsats På Kandidatnivå Nedskalad Truminspelning Med Ett Stort Sound
    ! Examensuppsats på kandidatnivå Nedskalad truminspelning med ett stort sound Om Kevin Parker och hans sätt att producera trummor Författare: Andreas Troedsson Handledare: Berk Sirman Seminarieexaminator: Thomas Von Wachenfeldt Formell kursexaminator: Thomas Florén Ämne/huvudområde: Ljud- och musikproduktion Kurskod: LP2005 Ljudproduktion, fördjupningskurs Poäng: 30 hp Examinationsdatum: 2017-01-13 Jag/vi medger publicering i fulltext (fritt tillgänglig på nätet, open access): Ja Abstract Producenten Kevin Parker har onekligen fått igenkänning för sitt trumsound. Som huvudsaklig låtskrivare och producent i rockbandet Tame Impala har han skapat sig ett ”signature sound”. Eftersom många gillar hur Parkers trummor låter har det förts långa diskussioner angående produktionsprocessen. Uppsatsen ämnade att ta reda på hur Parkers produktion sett ut och vilka ljudliga artefakter det är som utgör hans sound. Resultatet visar på en väldigt nedskalad inspelning. Ofta med ett enkelt vintage-trumkit och tre till fyra mikrofoner, dämpade skinn samt en hel del kompression och distorsion. Soundet kan beskrivas som väldigt energiskt, mycket tack vare just hård kompression och distorsion. Parkers sound känns igen även utanför Tame Impala. Trummorna upplevs i många fall som mycket mer än bara ett rytminstrument. Uppsatsen förklarar hur okonventionella produktionsprocesser kan ge upphov till originella ljudliga karaktärer, vilket i slutändan kan anses en positiv konsekvens. Keywords Kevin Parker, Tame Impala, producent, inspelning, trummor, musikanalys. Innehållsförteckning

It’s really difficult to do that with guitars, recluse, Kevin Parker is a pretty friendly guy. Or in the studio, but no one seems to consider it because whatever you do with a guitar, it’s usually at least that’s the impression the frontman for that. Everything I’ve read has just been ‘Tame going to end up sounding like a guitar. It’s going Australian psychedelic-rock outfit Tame Impala Impala, the band.’ I’m not really put off by that or to have that kind of earthy, rock ’n’ roll feel. But gives when he’s reached on tour in Austria. You anything. It’s just the way people see it, because with synthesizers, they just start in a completely could be forgiven, though, for assuming that they see a bunch of guys on a stage playing the different place.

After all, he does live songs, so they assume it’s a band, but it’s totally to have this whole new playing field of sounds and in Perth, Australia, which has been described as not.

  • Uptown Special, the Fourth Album by Producer-Songwriter-Musician Mark
    MARK RONSON’s UPTOWN SPECIAL- Nelson George, November 2014 Uptown Special, the fourth album by producer-songwriter-musician Mark Ronson, is a tale of several cities, a wide range of collaborators, and a road trip deep into the American South. However the story of Ronson’s latest project really starts back when he was New York’s hottest DJ.In the late 1990s into the early 2000s the New York club scene was percolating with booming hip-hop and glitzy R&B. In those days before he emerged as a multi-talented musical force Ronson manned the turntables of many great parties. “It was a fun time to be playing music,” he says. “At clubs like Cheetah you didn’t have to play a hip hop record until 1a.m. You could play early ‘80s classics by Chaka Khan, Boz Scaggs and Michael Jackson and rock the crowd. I’d play Steely Dan’s ‘Black Cow’ at 11:30 and it world work. Then, at 1am you’d play ‘Hypnotize’ by Biggie and the crowd would go wild. I come back to those memories.” This mix of vintage R&B and pop with contemporary hip-hop is what made Ronson a star DJ. “I never get tired of hearing records like Earth, Wind & Fire’s ‘Can’t Hide Love’ next to 'Rock the Boat' by Aaliyah,” says Ronson. “I wanted this record to feel like hearing that kind of musical mix on great New York club night.” Uptown Special has all of the flavor of a night with Mark rocking the ones and twos with funk, soul, and psychedelic pop in a style that echoes classic productions by Quincy Jones and Steely Dan, and funneled through its creators sophisticated understanding of arrangement and melody.
