Tame Impala[1] is the debutextended play by Australian musical projectTame Impala, released in September 2008, through the label, Hole in the Sky. It is the first official release byKevin Parker under the Tame Impala moniker, and only a small number of copies were printed – it is currently out of print. The label was established in 2007 by Perthdisco-pop duo and producers Canyons.[2]
The six-track EP has the first three tracks repeated by remixes: two by Canyons' members, Ryan "Sea-Mist" Grieve and Leo "Holiday" Thompson,[2] and the third by Fred Cherry. Two tracks, "Half Full Glass of Wine" and "Skeleton Tiger", were released on the band's next EP,Tame Impala, in the following month, with slightly different mixes. This release includes "The Sun", which is not available on future releases – it is one of the oldest songs written by the band's multi-instrumentalist and producer,Kevin Parker.
Parker later reflected on working with the Canyons duo, "They used to run a label which Tame Impala used to sort of be on. We released a 12" vinyl with them once, on one side it had three Tame Impala songs and on the other it was the same three songs remixed by Canyons and that was really cool, it was a really casual relationship."[3]
All tracks are written byKevin Parker.
