New Tame Impala Due Mid-2012: ‘It’s Got Lots Of Synths’
It’s been two years since Tame Impala’s all-conquering Innerspeaker – it topped our Critics and Readers polls for 2010 – but according to 21-year-old drummer Jay Watson its follow-up may not be far off.
Speaking to Mess+Noise ahead of the release of Beard, Wives, Denim – the fourth album for his “other” band Pond – Watson said he was hoping for a new Tame Impala release in “the middle of the year”. He also backed-up claims by frontman Kevin Parker that the new material was heavily synth-based and a “major departure” from Innerspeaker. “It’s got lots of synths on it,” Watson told M+N, “but it’s got lots of everything on it. It’s got all the sort of stuff that was on the first one and a whole lot more.”
While he’s not allowed to divulge too many details about the record – “It’s Kevin’s baby,” he said – Watson is a fan of the new direction. “I really like the new Tame album… (It) has pretty unique sort of sounds.”
Watson also spoke about the logistics of juggling several prolific outfits spawned out of the same Perth sharehouse including Tame Impala, Pond, Allbrook/Avery and Gum. “We do Pond in stints when we have time together off, but in all the other bands the music is made by (the respective artists) at home or on computers. So there’s a lot more time than it seems to have lots of bands.”
Beard, Wives, Denim by Pond will be out on March 2 through Sydney label Modular, who signed the band in late 2011. It was recorded over two weeks in a ramshackle farmhouse in Western Australia.
Full interview with Watson soon.
