Modular People

The first official single and lead track from the Tame Impala EP is "Desire Be, Desire Go". The band rigged it up to stream from their MySpace earlier this week and now we have too.

The debut EP (set your peepers on the cover art hovering above) is five tracks of untamed enthusiasm and unexpected delight penned by Kevin Parker (Guitar, Vocals) on his eight track. Beginning with "Desire Be, Desire Go's" loose groove verses, to "Slide Through My Fingers" rollicking desert trip of a journey, "Half Full Glass Of Wine's" half-speed double-awesome riffing, "41 Mosquitoes Flying In Formation's" unstoppable shake and "Skeleton Tiger's" marching band drums and haunting lead guitar, the Tame Impala EP has all the beauty of a lion's mane, and all the power of it's roar. A beautiful snapshot into what lies within the beast.

The Tame Impala EP will burst forth October 11 in Australia. We have a pre-order up on the Mod Shop.

Tame Impala will also be riding the tour dragon across the nation as they have picked up some serious supports. They'll be wailing out alongside MGMT> in December as well as The Mess Hall, Rocket Science, Shihad & Futureheads in the coming months. The band will also head out nationally on a EP tour of their own, traveling to all corners of the country, details to be announced shortly.
