BEST OF 2010 (albums) #24 Tame Impala - Innerspeaker (Modular Recordings)

Australia's Tame Impala couldn't sound more English if they were. Maintaining the long and fruitful line of experimental pop that began with The Beatles' "Revolver" and winds through early Radiohead and The Stone Roses, Tame Impala carry the torch forward in a manner that does justice to those hallowed names. The band's mixture of English psych pop with just a touch of krautrock made for one of this year's most pleasant and unexpected surprises. It's a wonderful hook-ridden work that never wears out its welcome and will have you believing in britrock all over again, even if it is from Australia. Full review here.
