Tame Impala’s ‘InnerSpeaker’ Turns 10

It has been 10 years since Kevin Parker unleashed his special brand of psychedelic rock on the planet, and nothing has been the same ever since.

InnerSpeaker is the debut studio album by Australian musical project Tame Impala. Recorded at a remote beach shack in Western Australia during the winter of 2009, the album was released on 21 May 2010 by Modular Recordings.

Innerspeaker was acclaimed by critics for its reminiscence of 1960s psychedelic rock and was recognized as the 83rd Best Album of the Decade So Far by Pitchfork in August 2014. The album peaked at number 4 on the ARIA Charts and was certified platinum in the country.

In March 2021, a 4xLP reissue of the album was released to celebrate the album’s tenth anniversary. Parker also has released a short film and a deluxe release to mark the 10th anniversary of InnerSpeaker, the debut album from Parker’s Tame Impala.
