Tame Impala is one of the most well-known bands in the world. Simple effects in music software applications like Ableton Live can be used to create Impala’s songs. Two Ableton Effects Rack setups, including the Boombox Drums and Crushed Drums racks, are perhaps the most essential component of the Tame Impala sound; the sound is incredibly distinct and instantly recognized. These effects are used to generate a distorted sound while also opening up the drum sound to give the entire sound more space and depth. This is the main reason why his songs sound the way they are.  One of the most well-known albums created by the band Tame Impala is “Current”. The record’s theme is personal transformation, which many critics perceived as the outcome of a break-up. The album became the group’s best-charting release. 

In the album “Current”, one song that is great to yhave on a Spotify playlist is “Eventually”. It’s easily a breakup song, it’s ambiguous enough to allow for alternative interpretations. In the chorus, he repeats, “I know that I’ll be happier/And I know you will, too,” stopping just long enough before adding the title phrase; Eventually. It’s the potentially false hope that the word holds that makes it so heartbreaking but so great at the same time. Listeners either feel that they need to scream the song or cry while listening to it. Although the song has many strong points, the very beginning of the song should not be there, it comes off as a strong chord and does not fit but eventually, it flows into the song. Some reviews mentions this as well, but others say how impressed they were by the instruments and that the Tame Impala concerts are something everyone should experience.
