Recording "Sundown Syndrome"
So you may know that we went to the UK in March to play a few shows. Anyway, we managed to find a couple of days in our schedule to record a couple of tracks in a studio. Mainly just to try something different, as most of Tame Impala's recording is done at home on Kevin's little 8 track.
We recorded at a place called Toerag studios with recording engineer extraordinaire / absolute fiend for drinking tea / Liam Watson.
The studio itself is prettttttty insane. Filled to the wall with all these awesome 60's amps and other fun toys. I'm pretty sure Kevin had a permanent boner while we were there. Anyway, here are a few photos...

More control room....

The greatest bass amp known to man. Oh selmer....

Toerags resident cat, who kept me company during the many times I managed to lock myself out of the studio in the cold London air....
Other brief highlights of the trip..

Random London Photos...

Sorry about the crap quality photos. We did have a photographer/band mascot, Sav, who took some awesome photos of the trip, however he's currently floating around Scotland or some such place unknown to us. So when he returns there will be some better photos.
You can listen to Sundown Syndrome on our myspace now.

Wow, that studio sounds amazing. Ha ha ha at the boner line.
Oh and you got to meet Noel Fielding? That's pretty awesome.. it's nice to see some Ghostwood love on the guestlist too. And that photo of Nick outside BBC looks like it was out of a 60s film...or something.

Honestly I love this song. Can't get it out of my head the only problem is I have to make up the words when singing along... Lyrics PLEASE!!!
- Boudicca (7 months ago)
Please don't get answers from eyes,
you know that mine can't lie
quite as well as yours.
Just let the spare moment flow,
rounding steps as I go
through the open doors.
Please don't deflate from a sigh,
I'd hold still every time
but I'd start to shake.
I wander around for days,
wondering what I'll say
when they want the truth.
You will never know how hard I try,
to keep from waning while waiting at the start.
The depth of every touch is real as you need,
but words don't do any favours for me.
