TRACK: Half Full Glass Of Wine

WHO: Kevin Parker, Dominic Simper & Jay Watson, collectively known as Tame Impala: three Perth kids who possible own some purple flared trousers and definitely know their way round the psych rock section of their local record store.

WHAT: Tasty but manky analogue reverb fuzz rock gargantuas.

HYPE: “Tame Impala are fuzzy and rough, like they carpeted their dad's garage in ugly soundproof yellow and got real stoned and didn't come out for a week, but when they did they busted through the garage door in a car blasting their own music because that is how they roll.” The Fader

WE SAY: You’re gonna love this, and so is your dad. Plowing the psychedelic furrow recently churned by MGMT and learning from Wolfmother’s trying-too-hard mistakes, these Aussie kids truly have in their possession some heavy duty and potentially damaging material.

Sounding like it was recorded round Ginger Baker’s house with a sock wrapped round the mics, Half Full Glass of Wine cheekily pretends to be She Bangs The Drums in the percussive intro, before pulling out a monstrous riff like it’s Excalibur, then wielding it with a daunting force that could cause Jimmy Page to crawl back to the womb.

This is a cocksure thing, if ever we heard one. It’s a stoner journey in MP3 form – too blissed out to be able to make much of an effort, yet somehow able to reach for some imagined lofty peaks. Accusations of tedious retro beachcombing are of course utterly valid: Zep - tick, Can – tick, Cream – tick, but the end result is so utterly impressive as to render such quibbling as nothing more than a collection of letters.

IF YOU ONLY NEED TO KNOW ONE THING: The band have also fashioned a rather fetching garage scuzz version of Blueboy’s Nina Simone-swiping trip house classic Remember Me. They’ve made it sound like Hush by Deep Purple. Incredible. Get this down your pipes now: http://whothehell.net/archives/1690

WHERE CAN I GET MY HANDS ON IT: Not sure really. They’ve just signed to Modular. There may be something later this year. Wait there, I’ll go and find out…
