Tame Impala: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2020
- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Bobby Carter | August 24, 2020
With beats, effects and synths pumping through a DJ mixer sitting on a school desk in his home studio in Australia, we present Tame Impala like you've never heard it before. As much as I love Tame Impala's music, I'm probably more intrigued by the creative process that brings the songs to life. The studio version of the band is pretty simple on paper: All songs are written, produced and performed by Kevin Parker. For the live version, Parker is still front and center but surrounded by a host of musicians who interpret his recorded work almost to a tee.
So it came as a shock to me when the Australian maestro explained what he wanted to do for his Tiny Desk (home) concert or his "Tame Impala Soundsystem" as he puts it. "I'll get Jay (Watson) and Dom (Simper) and we'll do this kind of electronic jam with heaps of equipment around us and we'll recreate the songs with samplers and sequencers," Parker says. "I've wanted to do something like this for a while and thought Tiny Desk would be the opportunity to do it."
SET LIST
"Breathe Deeper"
"Is It True"
"Patience"

Kevin Parker: vocals; Jay Watson: music; Dom Simper: music

Yes, Australian Jesus is back to bless us with his funk.
The soundtrack of the second coming of Jesus is funk, confirmed.
We've only got 2 shrimp for the barbie.
🤯🤣
Greasiest head ever
lol
“Tiny desk concerts” is the new MTV unplugged.💃🏻
Underrated comment!!!
I get you must be the type of person that when you speak, people listen. Never a truer word been spoken.
Unplugged?
plugged in this case, but it´s true
good call
Tame Impala is that kind of band that helps you to reach self-forgiveness and gives you good vibes about the future.
yesss
something we all need desperately right now
Tame Impala is not a band. Tame Impala is just a musical proyect by Kevin Parker, literally Kevin Parker is Tame Impala .
Yeah no sh!t.
Hey I just listen to tame impala bcs i feel exactly what you said, coincidence? I don't think so
If you listen between 0:00-16:21 you'll hear the sound of pure joy and perfection.
If you listen carefully….
I agree Jay is killing it
@@estebanvalle715 forgot about that small detail….
Amen
he's like a chef that created a recipe then taught all the cooks. Now he's just walking around the kitchen enjoying the smells.
this comment perfectly explains this video
This is perfect hhahah so true
great metaphor
lol love this
this... this is it
wow, talking about multitasking, controlling the mixer, the drum machine, singing and pulling his hair back all at once
he's Jesus
that's how he can pull it off
The hair part got me, but honestly it’s great multitasking
and dancing
Lol yasssss
And moving the mic cable out the way all the time
Do you guys know how hard it is to DJ, mix, sing all at the same time? So ridiculously underrated
Ya I could imagine pressing buttons is harder than playing a guitar and singing. Lol
@@deebodeebo8475 oh the ignorance….
I love this performance. Don’t get me wrong, I hope you realize that he is lip sinking also
@@deebodeebo8475 As a multi-instrumentalist, it is dude (2)
MORE THAN 100K LIKES IT IS NO UNDERRATED I THINK
this is like the 300th time i've listened to the full set.
3000th lol
How good is it!!
So random, but check out Reggie Watts @ The Lot Radio June 26, 2017.
What did you listen too for the other 65 days?
YES!!!!!! FACTS!!!!!!!!
For those of you interested, the two other guys performing in this just released their own respective solo albums. GUM (Jay Watson) recently released "Out in the World" and bambi (Dominic Simper) recently released "unfolding". The former is quite similar to Tame Impala's music, while the latter is instrumental ambient music. Check it out!
Thanks a lot mate!
Jay Watson is also in Pond
@@selsig_dwp Ive always thought Pond sounds strikingly similar to Tame
@@danielmustafa3006 I'm pretty sure Kevin produces a lot of their music and works with them very closely
thanks dude
Ight imma transcend.
Of course
I spit out my grapes lol
Kick the Demiurge in the nuts for me, will ya
😂
bro let me join
That ending of Breathe Deeper is EVERYTHING.
i come back to this vid just for that lol and to see the musical jesus wizard
Literally the ending of breathe deeper cannot be topped
@@mooony.mp3 the end of Posthumous Forgiveness comes close
FACTS
It's always funny hearing a singer's normal speaking voice and how ridiculously different it is to their singing voice.
Damon from Blur is the king of this
Mister Australia
Every singer who uses falsetto ever
From angelic, ethereal sometimes even girly to deep man voice lol
There is a slight correlation. But his falsetto is crazy smooth with his chest voice
Mark foster from foster the people!
Will never understand how ‘Is it true’ wasn’t a smash hit from the new album
It is for me
wasn't released as a single until like a few weeks ago, deserves radio play tbh
100% agree, it’s such a great jam
It’ll be a slow burner, trust
definitely my favourite !
whewwwwwww
Look at that, even Clairo jams to Tame
where's your collab
Clairo! We'd love to see you on a tiny desk concert pleeeaaase!
Tampe impala ft clairo
whewwwwwwwww
its 4am im in hawaii at the beach on vacation watching this while passing a joint to my girl...life's good Thanks Tame!
The perfect mood
Meanwhile, people are getting jailed for the exact same thing. And the funny thing is it's the CIA and FBI that run all the drugs into our country. Let them good times roll.
Takes three tries to post anything truthful on this completely controlled platform.
Bro is living life
@@lockergrcmon let this poor guy just enjoy the beauty of live 😄
This music is such a driving force in my world…who else here besides me listens to Tame Impala every day??
I listen almost every day
I listen to him EVERY SINGLE DAY !! It’s an obsession
Based response
Me haha especially when im on psychedelics
I Listen to tame impala just about every day
This version of Breathe Deeper is crazy😭
The chimes change add even more to one of favorite tracks on the album
He should release this version
The last minute or so goes absolutely bonkers
I listen to it daily. Super loud. Always.
ITS SO GOOD ;_; i'm obsessed with this song!!!
If only this could be an hour long set 🤪
@gusZ77 you're a genius
that’s what she said!
Sam I Am if only he had a real drum set 🥴
I found Tame Impala in 2010, I’m a truck driver and this is my driving music, keeps calm and in a groove zone all night while getting your UPS packages from hub to hub😂
Their music is stimulating and calming at the same time.
like Kev's tie dye shirt!
❣️ absolutely!!!
im suppose to work rn but there are priorities in life
This made me late for my haircut appointment but it was worth it
hahahahaha same thing here
Thank you for saying it)
Like dancin' in my office
This is worth 10000% to leave anything you´re doing and just watch/listen
Love these dudes. That's enough technology to fly a freaking spaceship.
I am glad I exist at the same time as Tame Impala.
I just went to the concert yesterday. Been extremely emotional. Music is truly so amazing
Me too! It was the best night of my life I wish I could relive it over and over again
I went in Denver in September it was purely magical. There coming to my city Boston and I’m highly considering going again! 😩
@@AshleyNT22 I'm going to the one in CT. That's the only show he does on the weekend around me and I'm from jersey!
Went to Hollywood Bowl this year on the first night and it was amazing. Kevin sounds just as good if not better in real life.
It happened to me too. Specially with the let it happen and yes i’m changing songs.
Patience is extremely underrated, still don’t know how it didn’t make it on the album
Kevin said that Patience is a old song so thats why is not on TSR
Jack Z jo you better watch your mouth thats not how you talk about my boy glimmer
It will probably be on the slow rush collectors/ b-sides
I don’t know why I heard some people think it was boring and bland I thought it was the greatest song for him to come back with, I love that song, I honestly find a lot of songs on the slow rush emotionless
It was on the japanese CD
The breathe deeper outro could be a whole song itself
I was vibing on that outro. Pulled it back a few times to hear it.
I’ve thought the EXACT same thing. Kevin should expand that outro and turn it into a whole song. Absolutely infectious.
Same, literally rewinded 4 times.. this time i watched it, and the last.
kevin is so dreamy
This guy is so, so creative, I even bet that one day he will be able to compose something without using Reverb or Delay as an automaton
You know that part in Ratatouille when Remy is trying to get his brother Emile to appreciate all the flavors of the food? And there were different color swirls and vibes to each flavor? Tame Impala gives me that-but with their music.
0:00 "Breathe Deeper" (with extended outro)
7:05 "Is It True"
12:32 "Patience"
Thx
Extended outro*
Thank ya
@@paulstothewall100 Fixed:)
God Bless your Sweet Soul 🙏🏾
I simply cannot listen to the original Breathe Deeper now that my ears have been spoiled with this
Same Hera
Same thing after fifa21 premier IS IT TRUE
EXACTLY
true🥺
So true. I feel like their music is mixed for albums in such a tame way. Very much hides the best parts
Nah this was actually so sick, I have so much love for Tame Impala. This version of Breathe Deeper is crisp
The extended outro at 5:02 is just magical.
can we talk about the breathe deeper outro though?
Daft Impala
HE DIDNT HAVE TO SNAP SOOOOO HARD
yeah all you have to get is a roland tb303 or behringer td3 and its pretty straight forward to recreate it
Jesus Christ it's the best!
Yes we can
Crazy how much Kevins vocals have improved over the years
Melodyne? was it totes live?
Well with a pitch correction and doubler outboard gear, it's not hard to achieve in a studio/ live in a studio....
@@purpletapes1940 suspect
Is it true? Yes definitely
Love how Kevin gives us a sassy shoulder pump at 4:54 then just walks away
Feelin’ the funk
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Let's create a petition to make Kev post all that versions in the Spotify and others
"Slow Rush" is a masterpiece.
Issa vibe
Yeah, it got a lot of hate upon its release this year in February....like...a ton of ppl. were expecting another 'Currents' kind of album.....
NIcholas Davis I feel like it’s really not that far off from currents tbh
Paul Badoo I agree, several are or should be gold,would be if singles is what I mean. What KEVIN PARKER BRINGS IS JUST BRILLIANCE TO THE TABLE ✌️🥳
and he played patience wow we don’t deserve them
I am still sad the song isnt included in the album. The song perfectly captured of what i am going through
I'm 102, Tame Impala saved my life literaly. They played "Breathe Deeper" when I flat lined. It brough me back to life....Thanks Tame Impala.
Woa
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm 44 years old and I can catch myself talking down on today's music but this is legit good stuff right here....
They look like they ate some shrooms in a music store and started to play the instruments.
😂😂😂
🤣
Pretty sure that's an actually IRL thing.
But they play like they didn’t
😂😂😂😂!!!!!
can’t get over him constant trying keep his hair back but refusing to tuck it behind his ears
lol yes. or cut it. *blasphemy
11:38 🤗
he does it all the time for years i think lol
It looks a lot worse if you ear tuck. He uses a lot of shampoo.
he's been doing this since 2008
This the dopest studio set ever, Breathe Deeper what an awesome song.
As a fan and vinyl collector, WE NEED A 'BREATH DEEPER' vinyl with every single version of this song. He just does it differently all the time.
this world does not deserve a man as beautiful as kevin parker.
wow tame impala soundsystem is a vibe
it’s so crazy to see how developed tame impala’s music has become. the sound changed so much but i love it
I am 453 years old and still finding great new music, keet it going guys!!
Tiny Desk Home are cool but hope Tame Impala are going to have a REAL Tiny Desk when it will be possible :)
We hope so, too!
@@nprmusic This response gave me so much hope! Thank y'all for this moment!
I was curious to see how they would trim thier system to fit the acoustic vibe of NPR TD. No trim required when your desk at home is stack on stack synth.
do you mean midi desk
ESTO ES MUY REAL
That second half of breathe deeper is the song for the aliens
Lololol
daft punk vibes?!?!
Eric Mundt aliens are about the only entity that can appreciate this noize
Yeah, my favorite part! Makes sense.
I needed this
Patience is so criminally underrated. I mean my eyes are being blessed.
The ,"You're my number 1" part just hits different. Very underrated artist even though he worked with a lot of big names.
BTW if you're watching this in 2024, you got good taste!
Kevin Parker has transitioned into an incredible singer throughout his career
I noticed this too. Saw them a few years back in Sydney and his voice was great then but it’s even better now, I think.
yeah he's def improved his vocals over the years! idrc too much bc everything else he does is amazing but still great
MUSICIANS
Kevin Parker: vocals; Jay Watson: music; Dom Simper: music
What instrument do you play? Music.
Hi, we are surftons, a post-punk influenced indie band. Please have a visit to our channel and listen to our new song, another new songs will be coming soon, Thank you very much. Have a good times!
This comment is 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
haha! the ultimate goal of a musician
I have this on permanent repeat 24 hrs. The literal definition of perfection. I've never heard anything better than this performance.
Once every few days haha 😂❤
0:00 Awesomeness
7:05 More Awesomeness
12:12 And even more Awesomemeness
The outro to breath deeper makes me wanna move to mars
underrated comment
OH MY LORD WHAT A BRILLIANT ALTERNATIVE OF BREATHE DEEPER
Seriously dude they gotta release that version as a single
So dope
All his concert versions are always different. I love it.
I love it soooo much
This is my comfort video. Never getting tired of watching them perform these songs
same here!
everybody shut up, jesus is singing
AHHHHH YES
thats not funny. i hope Jesus has mercy on your soul cause that was quite messed up and not even good.
@@4nna5tasia.h67 You should have a restraining order by any device remotely close to being connected to the internet. Now pls shut up jesus is singing, kinda rude of you to interrupt him.
@@4nna5tasia.h67 shhhhh, im gonna forgive you for saying that because its our lord's birthday today, but please shut up in the future before you make a fool of yourself.
@@emilioa008 bless
love how he’s just vibing, he truly enjoys what he does and that’s something really beautiful
starting straight off w "breathe deeper" is such a boss move!!
What is even more impressive is that this live Electronic Version is superior to the album version I could go and on every layer every note every nuance was enhanced this kat is a genius he just keeps absorbing all the grooviest genres figures out how to decipher the code apply the technology in such a way so that we Devotees aura blessed with a mind blower like this that ending is one of the coolest endings to a song I have ever heard
legendary
How am I only discovering this now?!😭😭😭😭
I don't know how many times I've watched this....But I don't care, I'll watch it again. Tame Impala is the band of the year for me. "Slow Rush" was released a month before covid hit and it's been with me through thick and thin this year.
Hey man, I feel you. Tame Impala became my favourite band this year, by far, I listen to them every single day
“And I tell her I’m in love with her, but how can I know if I’ll always be”
I WAITED FOR THIS FOR SO LONG. THESE CAPITAL LETTERS ARE NOT BIG ENOUGH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ＴＲＹ ＴＨＥＳＥ ＮＥＸＴ ＴＩＭＥ
Try exclamation
Tame Impala Soundsystem: dream band
Mi mamá me dio la vida pero el Tiny Desk de Tame Impala me dio las ganas de vivirla.
Extended outro to breathe deeper is easily the best moment in this tiny desk
Agreed
Its 1am, I'm on the toilet and this was the greatest 16 something minutes of my life.
same steve
Same
Omg me to
How did you go champ? Back one out? Nothing like a good 'e-dump' eh.
Nice deuce bro! 💩
4:22 lord have mercy what a tone
This is the kind of music that makes me love humans
oh my God he took the breathe deeper outro to the next level 🤯
this with headphones is wow
It's really well mixed. They nailed this.
YES
Agree
That's the only way to listen to really good stuff IMHO
Smoking a bowl and jamming out to this house session. So dope 🔥
I love how versatile they are. Like these guys are just as good mixing and using synths as they are with guitars and basses, it's incredible
This guy is so, so creative, I even bet that one day he will be able to compose something without using Reverb or Delay as an automaton
I say we petition to shut down everything until that alternative of Breathe Deeper gets released
Hi, we are surftons, a post-punk influenced indie band. Please have a visit to our channel and listen to our new song, another new songs will be coming soon, Thank you very much. Have a good times!
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE
Surftons Music Official no dude
@@VidandRicoOK, Thanks for replying.
@@KOK-sc8ez That is how I feel this version ought to be uploadable and added to the Slow Dive reissue along with the original Borderline and the Patience Single
Setlist:
0:00 - Breathe Deeper
7:06 - Is It True
12:32 - Patience
thank you my queen
Thanks
Lore A i'm a man
Thank you my king
@@lorea3478 yw king
He should collaborate with Toro y Moi, now that would be SO dope!
YES!!!!!!
Really hope so
Tame Impala's album The Slow Rush came into my life at a time when i needed that reminder that I'm moving towards the life I wanted. I was stressing and coming to terms with some of my past and finally starting to look to the future. Tyvm for this tiny home concert, send my regards to the genius behind these tracks.
woaaaahh i feel like that's right where i'm at rn. gotta listen to the whole album.
Currents was that for me
@@gopaint me toooooo!!!!! in the begging of 2016
TAME IMPALA SOUNDSYSTEM
The demo tapes of "The Slow Rush" are probably outstanding
I hope we get a few b-sides and remixes like Currents had
@@TsarCzar9 oh we def will!! we've gotten b sides for every album!
**Heyy listen to Le départ by Emma Rousset *_
@@TsarCzar9 wish granted.
Love how they chose a dub setup for this rather than just going acoustic. Really gave Kevin's music a smoky vibe.
That Breathe Deeper Outro - WHOOOOHOO :-0
Its the first time that I can hear a difference when the Dj touch the knobs.
Lol
Right me too
You need some DJ friends
And its almost just filters xD
@@MrDuffy81 He doesn't
KP GOING FOR THEM DEEP HOUSE VIBES ON THIS BREATHE DEEPER CUT
If you think I can’t fall in love with Tame Impala, believe me I can...
Aw, he be pressing his little buttons like beep boop. You spin those little knobs, Kevin
1:14
@Name Face i can't say it was love at first listen but appreciate the reccomendation
Tracklist:
Breathe Deeper 0:00
Is It True 7:05
Patience 12:32
Loved this so much, Tame Impala never misses.
Thanks for this!
Whoever said “patience” is boring needs to listen to this version.
Patience already gives me nostalgia, imagine it in a decade!
Whoever said Patience is boring needs to listen to Patience again
I've honestly never heard anyone say that lol
Whoever said patience is boring they need to get some. Patience is forever. I realized this on dmt this past new years eve while listening to patience by tame impala.
Patience its my favorite of the album even when is not on it😅
Ending of Breathe Deeper is bliss.
5:45 to 6:07 sounds like straight up alien communication ala Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Straight up transcendental.
Finally a Tame Impala Tiny Desk! This premiere is gonna be gold
Tame impala is the greatest band I’ve discovered in my life.
I feel ya. Kevin is a genius.
Gamechanger mos def
Greatest band of the aura generation and I am an old timer at 38 but found them literally 10 years ago late at night in late August packing up for the Burning Man festival and somehow while high as a kite I reached for the I pod and some strange force guided my hand and the band that I selected was Tame Impala first song was WWYMUYM and I was blown away next I listened to Alter Ego and just like that I was converted and was buzzing and very happy about this I think from then on Tame Impala was and still is my favorite go to band I have been rooting for them since that night and I am happy Kevin and crew have had their dreams come true it is a good thing because the music has kept me alight kept me happy brought so much joy to countless millions across the globe a Really good set to check from the ascendance that resulted from dropping Currents can still be uploaded on RUclips see Tame Impala live at the Melt that is a good one for the 2016 a really good one actually
Likewise
@DW DW that I am I am actually testing out two tabs as we speak
when I listen to it, I seriously feel like they are playing in my room right behind me when I sit at my desk and write my master's thesis
S/o to Tiny Desk Team for keeping the ball moving forward.
this simply wasn't long enough... could've done another 2 songs easy NPR should have made an exception for tame impala. the groove starting 5:00 is delicious
Goosebump inducing euphoria indeed I love seeing how Kevin Parker has now become a DJ who knows how to really warp and trip out such beautiful soundscapes
Yeah this outro is one of my favorite parts of this album
So glad the Acid section of Breathe Deeper was expanded. Sounds awesome.
You're welcome
We love you barış ❤
