Tame Impala has reminisced on the ten years since his second LP, ‘Lonerism’

It’s been ten years since Tame Impala dropped his second album, ‘Lonerism’, and he has taken to social media to share some fond memories of the record's creation.

Following up ‘Innerspeaker’, the album was an exploratory venture that produced some of Tame Impala’s biggest hits ‘Feels Like We Only Go Backwards’ and ‘Elephant’.

Looking back a whole decade, Kevin Parker admits that it’s, “difficult to sum up what the album means to me at this point. It was a pretty special time for me making the music. In a way, it’s when I truly discovered myself as an artist. Coming off the back of ‘Innerspeaker’, I had this new sense of purpose…calling… whatever you want to call it. I had finally given myself permission to let the music take over my being completely… to become totally immersed in my own world of recording music. So I had this new sense of creative freedom."

Parker shared the original and unedited album cover, a photo he took in Paris, but states that, “there’s really not much footage or photos of me recording ‘Lonerism’. I wasn’t exactly dying to get in front of a camera back then. My friend and photographer Sav came round a couple of times to take some photos and film me messing around in the studio, and that’s basically all there is.”
