Description

Issued in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics and credits printed on the inside. Lonerism is the second studio album by the Australian rock band Tame Impala, released on 5 October 2012 by Modular Recordings. Like the band’s debut studio album, Innerspeaker (2010), Lonerism was written, recorded, performed, and produced by Kevin Parker, with live member Jay Watson contributing on two tracks. Lonerism builds on the psychedelic sound of its predecessor by featuring fewer guitars and more synthesisers and samples. Parker attempted to incorporate his love for pop music into his songwriting for the record through catchier melodies. Many tracks feature ambient sounds recorded by Parker with a dictaphone. The album’s theme of isolation is reflected in the album cover, featuring an image of a fenced-off Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris.TracklistA1 Be Above ItA2 Endors ToiA3 Apocalypse DreamsB1 Mind MischiefB2 Music To Walk Home ByB3 Why Won’t They Talk To MeC1 Feels Like We Only Go BackwardsC2 Keep On LyingC3 ElephantD1 She Just Won’t Believe MeD2 Nothing That Has Happened So Far Has Been Anything We Could ControlD3 Sun’s Coming Up
