Tame Impala National Tour + Debut Album 'InnerSpeaker' Out May 21
Modular is proud to announce that West Coast sonic wanderers Tame Impala will unveil their debut album InnerSpeaker on May 21, and are taking to the road in May for a National Tour. It will be the first time much of the record is played live to an unsuspecting public and will showcase the gloriously dazzling results of one of planet earth's most exciting bands absolutely going to town on their debut long player.
Following on from their debut, self-titled EP, InnerSpeaker is Tame Impala's chance to paint a far more extensive picture than before, and sure enough it redrafts the entire Tame Impala world as we knew it, into an explosive cosmic wonderland of ecstatic harmony and perfectly accessible journeys into inner space.
Download: Tame Impala - "41 Mojitos" (Poolside Dub Canyons Remix)
Sometime during the fine year that was 2009, Canyons took the musical liberty of getting all up in fellow Western Australians Tame Impala's track "41 Mosquitoes" and in the process transformed it into a a dusty, hallucinogenic dub remix appropriately titled: "41 Mojitos" (Poolside Dub Remix).

Tame Impala
Tame Impala are Kevin Parker, Dom Simper and Jay Watson. The trio came together in 2007 after floating around various Perth outfits in one bastard form or another and hit upon their current steez as Tame Impala over a shared appreciation of drum beats, Leaf Hound and the challenging confines of living off $5 a week. The Tame Impala sound is one equally informed by The Beatles as it is beat poetry, which is made undeniably clear on their self-titled EP and will no doubt be reinforced and further explored on their not-too-far-away debut album.
