Tame Impala’s ‘Innerspeaker’ Celebrates a Birthday Today

For all intents and purposes, the debut album from Australia’s Tame Impala could be considered a solo record from Kevin Parker. Parker wrote and played most of the instruments on the album and he even wore the producer hat on the band’s tasty debut, ‘Innerspeaker’.

In a lengthy post on social media today, Parker said that “something very special coming v [sic] soon” to commemorate the 10th anniversary of that debut album.

My first album is 10 years old today. This version of the cover was 1 version out from the final, but i found it the other day for the first time since 2010 and it makes me very emotional to just look at because it reminds me of what I was going through about a week out from finishing and signing off on the whole album, which scared the shit out of me and at the time seemed like an insurmountable task. Little did I know that was the easiest it was ever going to get. Thank you to everyone who believed in me back then, you know who you are. And thank you Tim Holmes where ever you are, you saved this album in a way my naive self didn’t realise at the time. Announcement of something very special coming v soon.
