Tame Impala - Solitude Is Bliss (Live 11/18/2010 NYC)

"Solitude is Bliss", a polite and tightly packaged monster of a track which we captured in glorious BAL goodness. All the hallmarks of the band are present - roaming, reverb drenched vocals, sun splashed guitar, and a slyly shifting rhythmic section. And just to take a moment, what a rhythm section! Nick Allbrook's seriously killer bass playing keeps the foundation upfront but frequently improvises lines over top, while Jay Watson stabs in and out with a crack and clatter reminiscient of Nick Mason. All of this is packaged with a great sense of pop songcraft perfect for those who like their Beatles passed through a ray of psych.

[BigAssLens]

@AHAgrrl Yeah Jay pointed this out to me after the show. Been a long tour so his voice was definitely a little strained. They posted this on facebook the next day: "Voice box broken last night due to crookness caused by Endless Touring Fatigue (ETF). Sorry New Yorkers. Don't worry they'll give us a break one day..."
