His bass riff are incredibly satisfying when you listen his songs

tame impala is probably one of the greatest artists of this generation. He is definitely in my top 3 musicians and bands and it's like Jimi Hendrix Pink Floyd then Tame Impala. His music is so experimental and he evolves with the times each album sounds different but really good in its own way.

New person same old mistakes is one of the most incredible songs I've ever listened to, so happy to see it get some love

There's a great quote from David Bowie which I think holds a lot of weight, and relates to this a lot. “It’s terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other peoples’ expectations. They produce their worst work when they do that.” “If you feel safe in the area that you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth, and when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”

Kevin is a genius. That's it.

4:44 the changes are Cmin, Db maj (could add Abmaj or Ebmaj as passing tones to repeat as well). Listening to/playing jazz for the last decade has shown me that the changes need not be played directly to be actually there. It's all in the relation of the notes played at any given time, for example this song has heavy bass along with that synth playing arpeggiated/scale tones that help the listener determine what the quality of the chord is overall. I would say that this song has a clearly defined progression, you just gotta keep listening and it will reveal itself to you

The shoegaze, post-punk, dream pop, and darkwave fans watching this video are looking around in disbelief at the implication that Tame Impala had anything to do with pioneering heavy reverb.

Thank you for not putting the less i know the better in the bass section

You are absolutely right, the baselines are so mind-blowingly masterful, made me think he was primarily a bass player I was surprised to hear he was more of a drummer but man his drums also give me an out of body experience.

The quality of your content is so crazy man! I’m a big Tame fan and work on some music myself so this video really caught my attention. Keep up the great work, the subscribers you currently have doesn’t reflect yet on the quality you’re putting but, I’m calling it, it’ll blow up soon! Best of luck!

My god this video is so underrated! As an enormous tame Impala fan and music producer, I found this video so incredibly helpful

Never stop with the content,this channel is going to be big someday. 🙌🏾

Love the presentation. I'm an amateur musician and I record/produce my own stuff right now, so I plan on watching more from your channel. Kevin Parker is one of my favorite musicians, and I really appreciated the way that you were able to articulate some of the methods he brings to production. Thank you, subscribed! If I could make a suggestion, I would love to see you analyze the production/songwriting elements of Khruangbin or Crumb

Wow you really broke down the way Kevin Parker produces music so well, and totally agree with you on how he breaks every convention with his experimental music. Been a huge Tame impala fan, and now a new subscriber of yours too, you've got great quality content, I hope more people find you!!

great video! nice job noticing how he uses his bass tracks as if it was different chord progressions on his tracks.

Love the concept of this channel! And obsessed with kevin parker. He's my favorite artist of all time

Dude the first part of the vid is next level , thank you for this video bro

Man he is truly my favorite artist. Been on repeat for years

Glad you’re a fan like us! Best artist alive

This Video is such a gem and insanly inspiring

Awesome content, thank you!

Hes an inspiration, im going for producing my own tracks

Said that before on another video but I love your content and your trainings to ! Keep it up !

Really liked this video , didn't realize how the music was so intricate! Wow!!!!!!!!!

Very inspiring man!!!!

This is awesome 🙏🏿🎯💪🏾😊

if the rule is to "break the rules", then are we supposed to break that rule too? But if we do break that rule and follow the rules, then are we not following the rule to break the rules?

Such brilliant content.. instant sub!

Its not that he doesn't use references... he just doesn't reference his contemporaries... he references stuff from the past.

Thank you! I thought I was the only person who doesn't really use reference mixes. I will reference a song to get a specific individual sound, but not a complete mix as a whole. For the same reason you mention -- I want to sound like me, and not everyone else!

Love your analysis man! I think the break the rules thing is a great point. I do think though that the reference thing is a bit off. While Tame breaks so many rules and redefines itself, Kevin talks a lot about his influences and when you hear flaming lips alongside Lonerism, it seems very plausible that he used a reference for the drums. The key with references is getting help with the things that the reference can actually help with and not letting them control you

What’s the lecture you are talking about ? Can you link below thanks in advance

Beautiful music

Innerspeaker is to the bass as Lonerism is to drums. But I cant believe you didn't play "I's not meant to be" for a bass sample.

love this and couldn't agree more! could you do unknown mortal orchestra?

the chord progression at 4:55 is C minor > C# major

I just discovered TI a few weeks ago....Holy shit

That song very clearly has a chord progression, the bass and synth are playing the cord tones

Love this breakdown, ain't no one like Tame Impala

The Chord Progression is Cm to Db

❤️

I came here not realizing I have the same candle as you in the background… and that I break rules 😮

In my opinion, It is always the notes the harmony, the melody and the rhythm. And it will work with any texture and sound you’ll choose.

The only band that comes close to being as masterful as Kevin Parker is Radiohead. So that's all.

It's no coincidence that his bass is McCartney's Hofner. His basslines are very McCartney-esque. Very melodic and upfront.

the reverb vocals work because he builds an atmosphere that can accompany heavy reverb. It’s not just because he is breaking rules. Although it does always help bend and break rules, we also have to build instrumentation that appropriates it!!!!!

You're wrong about a number of things in the video. But the sentiment is still correct

damn this background loop drives me craaazy...

"New Person Same Old Mistakes" has indeed a basic chord progresion. It's based on the Frigian mode, the bass pretty much suggest it, just i to II progression, pretty common on modal music.

"four on the floor snare drum". LMFAOO.

0:42 - am I hearing the Human League's "Fascination"? Woooowww!!!

If I remember my music theory correctly New person same old mistakes takes a cue from Miles Davis and ditches major/minor functional harmony for modal harmony, the Phrygian mode specifically

Dope lemon next?

when poeple asked me what is your favourite ganre of music what to you like i never had an answer iif a song is good its good i dont really care for the ganre its a good song and i never had a favourite ganre untill i found Tame Impala its just that psychedelic rock just has that fealing like i could listen to him all day and not get bored of a single song

Oh man i think watching this while high was not the best idea ever

The comment about how he changes chords and melodies from verse to chorus and how it’s so creative of him seems kind of out of place to me, I mean every serious artist does that unless you’re a freaking mumble trap guy or something, but as soon as we talk about music that requires putting some more work and thinking through in it , it’s just nothing special to do so. And kevin does so many things that make him stand out from other artist, so mentioning that common thing was kind of unnececery to me and frankly kind of insulting to kevin’s one of a kind work ethic and skills. Other than that it was a very cool video

im gonna break the rule of playing in time

King of DIY is definitely Mac Demarco. I do love and respect Tame Impala though

He smashed the acid remember

so basically, how to produce like tame impala = just fuck around i guess

DNA lol😂

I don’t think is a conscious thing. He writes the song based on a grove/vibe.

What he does is not new

you talk about how music these days is all about loops but you also use it on your video. I find that a little bit contradictory.

Way too much black in the background

Sometimes "I'm breaking the rules" is an excuse for simply not knowing. Tame impala is great but it definitely breeds this group of engineers making dumb moves under the guise of "I'm a rule breaker"

Never even heard of him 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t understand this obsession with this idea of “breaking rules.” There are no rules…only technique and one’s personal sonic agenda. If you like clipping your audio, or distorting the piss out of it, or writing a song with 1 chord etc...then do it. No one is going to show up at your house and make you sit in the corner to reflect on it. This idea that there are “rules” in audio production on any level is a total fallacy. Yes, there are technical standards for things such as operating levels for TV and Film, but not rules. I think it’s cool that you’re vloging about music that inspires you. But if you think these are rules that are being broken, sorry to inform you that many of the things that you're hearing on Tame's records have been techniques used going all the way back to the early 60s. Again, only technique and personal perspective...not rules.

Dude tame impala is a band… have some respect for the members

Or if you don't know the rules, they easily become irrelevant

a bunch of content not knowing a thing about anything. waste of time bub

What t f is diy ? He didn’t invent any of it . His sound existed before he made it he copied a lot of this Sweden band called ? Anyone ?

Lose the swearing and I'll listen

bruh at 5:05 it's just Cmin to Dbmaj it's phrygian chord progression

Of course, there is a chord progression in the song. Just because the bass lick is the loudest instrument in the mix does not mean it without chord changes. Do you understand music theory? Do you play an instrument? This is a very amateurish thing for you to have said.
