TN: Tame Impala (Bonus Episode)

WATCH THE FULL VIDEO EPISODE @ Patreon.com/tapenotes In this special bonus episode, John joins Kevin Parker a.k.a. Tame Impala to dive into one more track that didn’t make it into the original conversation. Just in time for Halloween, Kevin takes us behind the scenes of ‘Dracula’, unpacking the multitude of demos, experiments and early ideas that gradually came together to form the track we know today. Along the way, he reveals how some of the most unexpected elements made their way into the song, including a random percussion instrument that happened to be lying around on his desk and would become a key part of its sound. If you haven’t heard the main interview already, where Kevin talks us through his process of creating ‘My Old Ways’ and ‘Loser’ make sure to check that out. Episode 188 Tame Impala!
