Tame Impala

Tame Impala win the J Award

Tame Impala have taken out this year's J Award. At a ceremony at Melbourne's Ding Dong Lounge, they were awarded the Australian Album of the Year for their debut Innerspeaker. It caps off a massive year for the band who have toured the world following the release of their critically acclaimed record in May.

Conceived mostly inside the head of principal songwriter Kevin Parker, InnerSpeaker was recorded when the band decamped to a house overlooking the Indian Ocean in Injidup. Since it's inception in this isolated outpost in Western Australia the record has found it's way onto the stereos and into the hearts of fans, critics and their musician peers all over the world, with the universal reception overwhelmingly warm.

Although released in May, InnerSpeaker is continuing to connect with fans across Australia and otherwise, and will see the band on the road until mid-2011, by which time, album 2 will already be well underway.

LUCIDITY

Directed by Robert Hales. Shot outside the country town of Mildura, 500 odd kilometres from Melbourne, the "Lucidity" video was a leap into the unknown, a series of experiments and blind faith launches into the final frontier, involving cameras being launched into space inside weather balloons, tracking all that went on below, including Tame Impala ripping through "Lucidity".
