Song: Why Won't You Make Up Your Mind?
Album: Innerspeaker (2010)
Tame Impala come from Perth Australia and make psych music. "Tame Impala make psychedelic hypno-groove melodic rock music." This band uses psychic sonic sounds and a filter similar to that of MGMT. Tame Impala are Kevin Parker, Dom Simper and Jay Watson. Kevin and Dom have been musical companions for a good 9 years, having met at music class in high school at age 13. Tame Impala are one of the best modern examples of psych music to come from Australia. They have a quick beat but come up with a very smooth song that never seems rushed thanks to the guitars which feature elongated notes.
Artist: Seu Jorge
Song: Oh! You Pretty Things
Album:Life Aquatic Studio Sessions
Seu Jorge is a Brazilian singer song writer and actor who was featured on the Wes Anderson film, "Life Aquatic" soundtrack. On this album he covered many of David Bowie's classics, for example, Oh! You Pretty Things. Seu takes Bowie's largely orchestrated, pop songs (which are fantastic in their own right) and strips them down to a simple acoustic guitar. Seu does what I consider to be a great song cover. Instead of just singing the song the song the same as the artist before, Seu adds his own personal touch by singing some of the lyrics in Portugese and stripping down the large orchestration that is typical of a Daivd Bowie song.
