Innerspeaker, the debut album from Tame Impala, came out on Modular on 21 May 2010, and it's essentially one man's fever dream. Kevin Parker wrote, recorded and produced almost all of it himself, spending three months of mid-2009 tucked away in an isolated shack by the sea in Western Australia, and the isolation seeps into every phased, fuzzed-out groove.
Critics loved how it dusted off 1960s psychedelia and made it sound fresh instead of fusty: drums that thud like they're underwater, guitars that swirl and bloom, and Parker's dreamy, faraway vocals floating over the top. "Solitude Is Bliss" and "Lucidity" are the bright, hooky entry points. It won Australian Album of the Year at the 2010 J Awards and climbed to number 4 at home, and Pitchfork later named it the 83rd best album of the decade so far.
