Afterthought – Tame Impala

Tame Impala have released their new album, Deadbeat; their long-awaited follow-up to The Slow Rush. Inspired by the Australian ‘bush doof’ (outdoor rave) scene, Kevin Parker has reimagined his sound for the dancefloor. While this sounds like an exciting prospect, in general, the release underwhelms – in particular, singles End of Summer, Loser and Dracula are all relatively quickly forgotten.

That said, tucked away as the penultimate track on the album, Afterthought gives a hint of what the album could have been. It fuses Parker’s song-writing strengths with a catchy, melodic baseline. It’s just a shame that this approach appears to have been afterthought…

If you enjoyed that, I’m playing a set at Stokey Karaoke on 29th November where I’ll be leaning into an indie electro vibe. Expect Tame Impala, La Roux, TEED and more. Get in touch for details.

Walking on a Dream (TEED Remix) – Empire of the Sun

17 years on from its original release, Empire of the Sun have released a remix package of their biggest track, Walking on a Dream. The TEED version caught my attention, but the EP takes you on a tour of various genres (and levels of quality) with Wiz Khalifa, Axwell and Kaskade getting in on the act, amongst others.

TEED’s new album is Always With Me is out 5th December. I’ve been enjoying the singles so far (especially Desire and The Echo). It’s very much worth checking out what Orlando has to offer, as always. New name, same quality.
