Tame Impala aired their brilliant single ‘Elephant‘ live on Later…with Jools Holland last night (November 20th), when Biffy Clyro and Sinead O’Connor also performed for the show.
The Australian collective, led by Kevin Parker, will showcase more from their 2012 album ‘Lonerism‘ when an extended edition of the programme goes out on the BBC later this week.
‘Lonerism’ was said to have a ‘more mellow nature’ than its 2010 predecessor ‘Innerspeaker‘ in Live4ever’s review, which continues:
“Whilst it’s far from ambient, in comparison to the debut’s relentless sonic assault, the album explores and embraces more extreme dynamics, appreciates spaces and gaps just as much as it is fond of layer upon layer of sound,” the review continues. “There even appears to be a gentle, simple and straightforward love (or more likely a love lost) pop song present in ‘Feels Like We Only Go Backwards’.”
Meanwhile, Biffy Clyro were also in town to preview their own new material, and ripped through the track ‘Stinging Belle‘ which is due to feature on their forthcoming double LP ‘Opposites‘.
