The Slow Rush(LP, Red w/ Gold Splodge, LP, Blue (Light) w/ Gold Splodge, All Media, Album, Limited Edition, 180gm) Lo-fi music is also a favourite of Parker's, and he incorporated it heavily in the early days of Tame Impala, heard prominently on the Tame Impala EP. With the release of Innerspeaker, Parker went for a different approach to a lo-fi sound, aiming more for a more cosmic and sonic wall of sound, helped by mixer Dave Fridmann. Parker explained: "It sounds more cohesive, like an organism. It has a different emotion to it; it brings out a different feeling when it's absolutely blaring at you. I love that sound." [77]

TAME IMPALA – 'Cause I'm A Man. 5 April 2015. Archived from the original on 5 April 2015 – via YouTube. Tame Impala's second album, Lonerism, was released in 2012 and was mixed by Dave Fridmann. [31] Parker said that Lonerism "represents a departure from his previous work by incorporating an expanded sonic palette, more emotional song writing, and a more pronounced narrative perspective". It was created in a similar set up as Innerspeaker, whereby Parker wrote and recorded the majority of the album by himself at his home in Perth, Western Australia. [32] Parts of the recording also occurred in Parker's home studio in France. Parker's decision to make the music for Tame Impala in the studio by himself is a result of him liking "the kind of music that is the result of one person constructing an awesome symphony of sound. You can layer your own voice 700 times for half a second if you want, and I just love that kind of music". [76] However, Parker has to translate his music to a live setting with the band, and the band doesn't play the songs until they have been recorded. "The only jamming that's done as a band is done a long time after the song is recorded for the sake of the live environment. It's good for us, because we can take a song that's been recorded and do what we want to it: slow it down, speed it up, make it 10 seconds or 10 minutes long. It gives us a lot of freedom." [77]
