Tame Impala

Studio Update Pt. II

Words by Dom.

5. Aaaaah beautiful Chang. As we were heading to Japan straight after recording we thought we should indulge in an Asian beer. Unfortunately we couldn't afford a Japanese beer like Asahi or Kirin, so we had to settle on Chang. I think it was like 30 bucks a Carton, and tasted accordingly. And yes, Kevin was terrible at washing his tea / soup cups.

6. View from the roof / master bedroom. Pretty self explanatory.

7. Our engineer Tim didn't arrive from the UK until two weeks into our stint down south so it was just Kevin and myself for the first 14 days. As a result, we just plonked down the drum kit / all the gear in pretty much in the first place we could find without any consideration for practicality. I think Tim nearly had a heart attack when he first walked in the house and saw how we had set up.

8. This photo isn't anywhere near as posed as it looks. Kevin actually did spent most of his day standing on the balcony with his guitar. The telescope pictured was used almost daily for whale spotting.
