    Geebz, the album this song comes from, Currents, is probably the best modern psyche album of the last few decades. Listening to it start to finish, especially the first 8 tracks, is an unbelievable sonic journey that is so damn cathartic. The opening track Let It Happen is masterpiece. Listen to it on the beach during sunset to dusk on a beautiful day, you won't be dissapointed.

      100% agree - been bumping this on a regular basis since it came out 8 (!) years ago. One of my all-time favourite albums. The production on this album is incredible; the drums in particular are crispy as hell. Skull Snaps tried to sue him for using their famous 'It's New Day' break on 'Eventually' but it's all original drums :)

    • @JetJockey87

      Absolutely perfect pairing, especially considering where the album was mastered. In Yallingup, Western Australia at a studio called the Beach House.
      I grew up and live in Western Australia, and have actually been to parties in my younger years where KP and some of the members of Pond would be hanging out in North Perth.
      It's a great place to live because some amazing things and people have come from here but it's also such a small population for such a large and diverse state.
      In fact, I went to high school and shared home room with Melanie Perkins, she created Canva.
      Small town, great vibes.

  • @grey_f98

    The Bee Gees influence is so strong with Tame Impala, it's like a modern version of them blended with indie rock instrumentation. So it's not quite an 80s revival, nor a typical indie band, instead it's something completely new, yet the emotional core of it is something we all know intimately within ourselves.

  • @greggshields

    Great to see you listening to Tame Impala! You might be interested to know that "Tame Impala" is actually a single person: Kevin Parker! He writes all the songs, sings, and performs all the instruments! Also, I'd highly recommend the track : "Let It Happen" from the same album

    In samba, usually played with a seven strings guitar, a very commom thing to do is what we brazillians call "baixarias", where between some verses as a counterpoint, the player do some bass lines in the 7th string, just like Kevin do.
    An good example for it's in the verses of Cartola's "Preciso me encontrar"

    Thanks for reacting to Tame Impala. This song is brilliant advertising for Tame Impala's entire discography. His junior album "Currents" is cosy and an absolute classic.
    Do some of The Strokes! I recommend "Selfless" or "The Adults Are Talking" it's their new album, which is different to their earlier stuff, and it's very chill, deep, yet retrospective.

  • @pseudonoises
    @pseudonoises Рік тому +1

    whats insane about this song is the fact that kevin played everything and i mean EVERYTHING but the drums on his guitar, the piano and synths and bass are all done with the roland gk3 synth pickup on a squier j mascis jazzmaster and processed through roland's mk-55 guitar synthesizer, the bass is the p-bass setting on that run through overdrive and i believe he said chorus and compression. the rhodes were played on guitar which is why the inversions are interesting on it and the synths were also done by guitar. kevin wrote this album while traveling a lot so he didnt have access to most his gear so he recorded almost everything on guitar.

    I don't mind the title of your channel, if I could recommend something it would be to have consistent branding across your channels "KeyofGeebz" "GeebzWorldReview"
    I also don't want to give you the impression you're doing anything wrong, as long as your enjoying yourself is all that matters..
    But, if editing this video, in post I would recommend splicing the specific moments in songs that you're referencing when you pause to review - for example when talking about the sizzling of the Bass, splicing in 4-12 seconds of footage of the song itself will let listeners know exactly what you're referencing
    (Useful for helping viewers with untrained ears)
