Tame Impala

Dream pop
Dream popIndie rockPsychedelic rock

Tame Impala is a Dream pop and Indie rock act. Their catalogue also touches Psychedelic rock and Rap. Their sound grew out of Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, Last Nite, The Elephant 6 Recording Company, Steve Monite and The Streets. Those roots explain a lot about how Tame Impala arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Melody's Echo Chamber, Temples, The Strokes, The Voidz and Meltt, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jay Som, The Marías, K.Flay, Urban Cone and Training Season, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 51 connections around Tame Impala, reaching back through Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit and forward to Jay Som.
