The effect Kevin likes to use a lot is phaser. He'll use it on his guitars, but also on a whole song during particular sections.

Brian introduced The Little Girl I Once Knew by saying that the first two notes sounded "Chinese," but not to worry because the rest of the song was "American."

Hmm. I thought it must be something else just because I didn't hear a certain--and forgive the inability to express it in actual terms, here--"s" sound that seems to travel with the shifting sound in a phaser. (In my mind, there's like an S traveling across the sound when a phaser is brightening and darkening.) But if that's what it is, then yeah, that--when it's applied to the entire track, eventually pushing it into murkiness.

Pond is a few members from Tame Impala's side project band. Saw them live early this year, they rocked!

^The Jesus comments on the youtube video are hilarious Grin.

It's got hints of Tame Impala. I think I like Parker's voice better. I like "pretty" voices. But I dig Pond's guitar.

Also I'm obsessed with "Let it Happen."

Guys.
I just wanted to say that I love Tame Impala and that I'm so excited to see them for my birthday.
Which isn't for a while but worth the wait.

I will finally go to Red Rocks. Yay Colarado

NOT that anyone cares...

But Tame Impala just announced that they'll be coming to a festival in my city, a festival that just happens to be right after my Colorado trip to go seem them at Red Rocks.
Obviously I'm not going to shell out more money just to see them again, and also the rest of the lineup is mostly meh, but damn that's kinda funny. Maybe this'll increase the odds of running into Kevin Parker at some point, ha.........

On another note, my friend (the one going to the concert with me) and I made a realization the other night, but InnerSpeaker's strongest element is its instrumentation. The way Parker distorts his guitar is a kind of reflection of his introversion. Just listen to the riff in "Solitude is Bliss." I really think my favorite musicians are somewhat introverted and allow ideas and sounds and songs to bounce and churn and develop inside of their minds, resulting in just really brilliant music.
One of those "whoa, duuuude" realizations, for sure.
