Tame Impala - Lonerism [2LP] (gatefold)

Lonerism is the second studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band Tame Impala, released on 5 October 2012. Like their previous album, Innerspeaker (2010), Lonerism was written, recorded, performed, and produced by Kevin Parker, with live member Jay Watson contributing on two tracks. Lonerism builds on the psychedelic sound of its predecessor by featuring fewer guitars and more synthesisers and samples. Parker attempted to incorporate his love for pop music into his songwriting for the record through catchier melodies. Many tracks feature ambient sounds recorded by Parker with a dictaphone, the album's overall theme is of isolation.
