Kevin Parker, a.k.a. Tame Impala, on writing for pop stars, his more-personal new album and the Australian prime minister: 'At least he's not as bad as Trump.'
, whose election he attributed, in part, to Morrison’s promise of jobs to conservative voters in coal-rich Queensland.“People never cease to amaze with their stubbornness,” Parker said of the prime minister’s reputation as a climate denier. “At least he’s not as bad as Trump. He’s not a cartoon character.”
“You decided to take all your sorrys to the grave,” Parker sings over tolling minor-key synths. Then, as the music brightens, he runs through a list of more recent moments he would have enjoyed telling his dad about — including “the time that I had Mick Jagger on the phone” to discuss his remix of Jagger’s 2017 solo single “Gotta Get a Grip.”
Astutely, he likened the sensation that Tame Impala’s music provides to “that feeling of euphoria after a big cry, when you realize you’ve got it all out.” That hip-hop attraction runs both ways: Parker’s drums — funky and propulsive, yet oddly soothing — are a big part of why rappers are drawn to him. But it’s also his seriousness about percussion that leads him to prefer working by himself.
