Cédric Marszewski, aka Pilooski, has maintained a relatively low-profile since the 2011 release of Discodeine’s self-titled LP.
Then, out of the blue, a few hours ago VICE France premiered this brilliant animated video for a brand new Discodeine single, “Aydin.”
Featuring Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, the track features Piloo’s signature psychedelic chugger vibes with a combination of Disco strings and 80s New Wave 7″  synthline reminiscent of Thomas Dolby’s …

It’s no secret that we love this Australian band. With two excellent albums under their belt, they continue to impress us with a live performance that puts everything we love on full display. Their dreamy, psychedelic rock stylings were meant to be played live. They simply killed it!
A lot of the songs for their sophomore album started while they were touring behind their debut …

FYI: With the exception of the more descriptive part about the self-titled debut album from Melody Prochet, Melody’s Echo Chamber, much of this post is speculative. Like most of it. That being said, it’s not unreasonable.

Jason Bentley was invited to talk about the “State of Music” on G4TV’s signature afternoon show Attack of the Show. Comedian Dave Holmes was guest hosting and, luckily, he is a serious music fan who knows what he’s talking about.

Yesterday, Tame Impala released a kaleidoscopic minute long clip featuring what is no doubt new music from the group. As teasers go, it is a perfectly dizzying thing, offering little to no context for any of the imagery and going from stoned silence to blasting us with a sonic loop that sounds like the noodly bridge of a new lysergic opus.
The album is called “Lonerism” and comes out on …

The life of a pro surfer is pretty much unlike any other occupation. Stephanie Gilmore is one of the best surfers out there (four-time world champion!) and she spends her days traveling the world in search of the perfect wave. In fact, she shared her musings on her unique lifestyle – and the music that fuels it – as part of her Guest DJ …

One of our favorite bands of 2010, Australia’s Tame Impala, recently covered Massive Attack, one of the most played bands of all time on KCRW! A match made in heaven.

I will never forget Jason Bentley’s wide-eyed excitement when he first told me about the Tame Impala album earlier this year. They went on to become a station favorite and we finally got them in the studio. Despite a few technical glitches, it was great to feel their layered psychedelia washing over me.
They talked about how their music has a lot in common with …

The excitement and expectation of potentially being handed a gift by family, friends, and strangers at any given moment? The strange simple psychedelia of waking up one morning and going outside and seeing everyone’s houses suddenly draped in multi-colored lights?
