Tame Impala InnerSpeaker National Tour On Sale Now
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.
Recorded and produced by the band's own Kevin Parker with Death In Vegas' Tim Holmes on the engineer duties, in an enormous mansion with 180 degree views of the Indian Ocean in the middle of buttfuck nowhere a few hours south of Perth, InnerSpeaker is ensconced with a kind of inspired vastness not dislike the place it was made.
It was then mixed in a completely different kind of nowhere, a log cabin surrounded by snow and deer in upstate New York, by renowned sonic maverick Dave Fridmann (MGMT / Flaming Lips). The resultant record will first be revealed with the single, "Solitude Is Bliss", a joyous summertime romp through fields of honeyed harmony and crispy good times and is just the very tip of the amorphous cosmos that is InnerSpeaker.
InnerSpeaker is available for pre-order now from the Modular Shop (local and international orders) and here is the Getmusic pre-order for both digital and physical formats (Australia only).
Or as a special offer to live show fans, you will have an opportunity to pre-order the album with tickets purchased to the May National Tour. Be the first to hear InnerSpeaker live at the dates below.

#42: Eric Duncan AKA DrDunks BalEric D Mix 2005 NYC
Understatement: Eric Duncan has his tricky fingers in many a musical pie, so to speak. Whether he's busy being DrDunks, Rubbing 'n Tugging, Still Going, driving the C.O.M.B.I. or playing epic two day sets before literally tearing up the dance floor of the Passerby club - he's doing something - and that something is probably more than what you're doing. Which might explain why he can't seem to remember/be bothered to give us a tracklist for this Modcast. When Eric handed us his 'Eric Duncan AKA DrDunks BalEric D Mix'* mix, he had this to say:
If you point yourself in the direction of the Mod Shop you'll see that JTL (merch guy) has gone absolutely bonkers with the stock: All 15 Nevereverland tees (count 'em) have been slashed from $40 to $20. Get in while you can, these threads won't last forever.

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).

Cut Copy Updates and Happenings
Things have been a little quiet lately for camp Cut Copy - or have they? The boys recently put rumours firmly to rest with the following message (we've taken the liberty of picking out some highlights), sent out to their loyal fan base late last week, bringing us all well and truly up to speed and into the 'now'.
Video: Tame Impala - 'InnerSpeaker' Ep. 1
Herein lies the very first glimpse into the 'InnerSpeaker'. Magic and melody abounds, with plenty more where that came from. Stay tuned.

#41: Tao Lin - 'Calmly Emotional' Mixtape
Tao Lin (b. 1983) is the Brooklyn based poet/author responsible for last year's cult hit novella, Shoplifting From American Apparel. His anticipated second novel, Richard Yates, is due to be released by Melville House in September.
Tao: This mixtape contains songs I've consistently listened to the past 1-7 years. I have ordered the songs in a manner that seems satisfying to me. The tone of this mixtape could be described as "calmly, idly, nostalgically, at-times 'energetically' emotional." I have excluded songs that would, to a certain degree, disturb that tone. One could elaborate on the tone by describing it as "low-level, peaceful, considered 'depression'/'inactivity' experienced mostly with acceptance and sometimes with gratitude." Other mixtapes/playlists by me can be viewed here (American Apparel) and here (top 25 most-played).
Leo and Ryan, better known as team Canyons, chew the fat with Resident Advisor about what 2010 has in store for our favourite Sydney via Perth duo.
