Tame Impala is a psychedelic music project of Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker . In the recording studio , Parker writes , records , performs , and produces all of the project 's music . As a touring act , Tame Impala consists of Parker ( guitar , vocals ) , Dominic Simper ( guitar , synthesiser ) , Jay Watson ( synthesiser , vocals , guitar ) , Cam Avery ( bass guitar , vocals ) , and Julien Barbagallo ( drums , vocals ) . Many of them are members of , or collaborators with , fellow Australian psychedelic rock band Pond ; that band 's Nick Allbrook was previously a live member of Tame Impala . Originally signed to Modular Recordings , Tame Impala is now signed to Interscope Records in the US , and Fiction Records in the UK . Parker originally conceived the project in Perth in 2007 . After a series of singles and EPs , Tame Impala 's debut studio album , Innerspeaker , was released in 2010 ; it was certified gold in Australia and well received by critics . Parker 's 2012 follow-up , Lonerism , was also acclaimed , reaching platinum status in Australia and receiving a Grammy Award nomination for Best Alternative Music Album . Tame Impala 's third album , Currents , was released in July 2015 , and like its predecessor , it won ARIA Awards for Best Rock Album and Album of the Year .

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 . Recorded mostly in Perth , Australia , and Paris , France , 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 . Lonerism received critical acclaim , and many critics ranked it among the best albums of 2012 . It reached number four on the charts in Australia , number 14 in the United Kingdom , and number 34 in the United States .

Australia , officially the Commonwealth of Australia , is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent , the island of Tasmania , and numerous smaller islands . It is the largest country in Oceania and the world 's sixth-largest country by total area . The population of 26 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated on the eastern seaboard . Australia 's capital is Canberra , and its largest city is Sydney . The country 's other major metropolitan areas are Melbourne , Brisbane , Perth , and Adelaide . Indigenous Australians inhabited the continent for about 65,000 years prior to the first arrival of Dutch explorers in the early 17th century , who named it New Holland . In 1770 , Australia 's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788 , a date which became Australia 's national day . The population grew steadily in subsequent decades , and by the time of an 1850s gold rush , most of the continent had been explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies established . On 1 January 1901 , the six colonies federated , forming the Commonwealth of Australia . Australia has since maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy , comprising six states and ten territories . Australia is the oldest , flattest , and driest inhabited continent , with the least fertile soils . It has a landmass of 7,617,930 square kilometres ( 2,941,300 sq mi ) .
The Black Keys are an American rock band formed in Akron , Ohio , in 2001 . The group consists of Dan Auerbach ( guitar , vocals ) and Patrick Carney ( drums ) . The duo began as an independent act , recording music in basements and self-producing their records , before they eventually emerged as one of the most popular garage rock artists during a second wave of the genre 's revival in the 2010s . The band 's raw blues rock sound draws heavily from Auerbach 's blues influences , including Junior Kimbrough , Howlin ' Wolf , and Robert Johnson . Friends since childhood , Auerbach and Carney founded the group after dropping out of college . After signing with indie label Alive , they released their debut album , The Big Come Up ( 2002 ) , which earned them a new deal with Fat Possum Records . Over the next decade , the Black Keys built an underground fanbase through extensive touring of small clubs , frequent album releases and music festival appearances , and broad licensing of their songs . Their third album , Rubber Factory ( 2004 ) , received critical acclaim and boosted the band 's profile , eventually leading to a record deal with major label Nonesuch Records in 2006 . After self-producing and recording their first four records in makeshift studios , the duo completed Attack & Release ( 2008 ) in a professional studio and hired producer Danger Mouse , who subsequently became a frequent collaborator with the band . The group 's commercial breakthrough came in 2010 with Brothers , which along with its popular single Tighten Up , won three Grammy Awards . Their 2011 follow-up El Camino received strong reviews and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart , leading to the first arena concert tour of the band 's career , the El Camino Tour . The album and its hit single Lonely Boy won three Grammy Awards .
El Camino is the seventh studio album by American rock duo the Black Keys . It was co-produced by Danger Mouse and the group , and was released on Nonesuch Records on December 6 , 2011 . The record was the band 's follow-up to their commercial breakthrough , Brothers ( 2010 ) , and was their third collaboration with Danger Mouse . El Camino draws from popular genres of the 1950s to 1970s , such as rock and roll , glam rock , rockabilly , surf rock and soul . Danger Mouse contributed as a co-writer on each of the 11 songs alongside guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney . The album was recorded from March to May 2011 in Nashville , Tennessee , at Easy Eye Sound Studio , which Auerbach opened the year prior . The band approached writing and recording differently than on previous albums , as they entered the studio without having written any material and deliberated longer on how to structure songs . After struggling to translate the slower songs from Brothers to a live setting , the band wrote more uptempo , hook-laden tracks for El Camino . The album 's cover art depicts a minivan similar to one the group toured in early in their career , but in an inside joke , they named the record after the El Camino muscle car . A faux newspaper advertisement and parody car commercial playing on this joke were used to promote the record prior to release . Lonely Boy was released as the lead single in October 2011 and became the group 's highest-charting single in several countries , including the United States , Australia , and Canada . The album received positive reviews from critics and was ranked by many publications as one of the year 's best albums .

Numerous disputes between Great Britain and the colonies led to the American Revolutionary War lasting between 1775 and 1783 , leading to independence . The United States embarked on a vigorous expansion across North America throughout the 19th century - gradually acquiring new territories , displacing Native Americans , and admitting new states - until by 1848 it spanned the continent . During the second half of the 19th century , the American Civil War led to the abolition of slavery in the United States . The Spanish-American War and World War I confirmed the country 's status as a global military power .

They are known for their distinct and minimalist sound that blends indie pop , indie electronic , dream pop and electro-rock and the dual vocalist setup of both Croft and Sim . Their music employs soft , echoed guitar , prominent bass , light electronic beats and ambient soundscape backgrounds . The band was formed when Croft and Sim met during their time at Elliott School , with Baria Qureshi joining the same year and Smith a year later . After posting demos on their Myspace page , they drew the attention of the Beggars Group-owned label Young Turks . Working with producer Rodaidh McDonald , the band released their debut album , xx , in August 2009 . The album was a commercial and critical success , reaching number three on the UK Albums Chart , ranking first for The Guardian 's and second for NME 's best of the year lists among others , and winning the Mercury Prize in 2010 .

Coexist is the second studio album by English indie pop band the xx . It was released 5 September 2012 by the Young Turks record label . After a break from touring for their 2009 self-titled first album , the xx 's band members began to write songs individually before they recorded Coexist from November 2011 to May 2012 . For the album , the group drew on personal experiences for their songwriting , while their music was influenced by the electronic dance scene that occurred when they had been away on tour . It was produced by the band 's Jamie Smith , who had pursued electronic dance on other projects and developed as a DJ prior to the album . Coexist features a minimalist musical style with spatial arrangements , loose song structure , little dynamism , and experimentation with tension . Its songs are characterised by sparse elements such as simple chord progression , keyboard ostinatos , and fading motifs , while Smith 's production incorporates both programmed beats and live percussion instruments . The lyrics , written by guitarist Romy Madley Croft and bassist Oliver Sim , feature inner monologue and simple metaphors to explore a failing relationship and the emotional dynamics of a romance . The album debuted at number one on the United Kingdom 's Official Albums Chart while selling 58,266 copies . It also charted in the top 10 in several other countries and was eventually certified platinum by the Independent Music Companies Association , having sold at least 400,000 copies in Europe . To promote the album , four songs were released as singles , including Angels and Chained , while the xx toured during June to December 2012 throughout Europe and North America . Critically , Coexist was also a success , with several music publications ranking it as one of the year 's top-ten albums .
Frank Ocean ( born Christopher Edwin Cooksey ; October 28 , 1987 ) is an American singer , songwriter , record producer , and photographer . He began his musical career as a ghostwriter , prior to joining hip hop collective Odd Future in 2010 , and the following year released Nostalgia , Ultra , his debut mixtape . The mixtape was a critical success and generated the single Novacane , which peaked at number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was later certified platinum . Ocean subsequently secured a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings in 2012 . Ocean released his debut studio album , Channel Orange , in July 2012 ; it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and was soon certified platinum . The album received universal acclaim from critics and won Ocean his first Grammy Award , for Best Urban Contemporary Album . The album contained the singles Thinkin Bout You , Pyramids and Sweet Life , with the former peaking inside the top 40 in the US and gaining him a nomination for Record of the Year at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards . His second album , Blonde , was released in 2016 and was subject to controversy after Ocean endured protracted contract disputes with Def Jam , which led to the album suffering repeated delays . In order to fulfill his contract with Def Jam , Ocean released the visual project Endless exclusively on Apple Music the day before releasing Blonde . Released independently , Blonde debuted at number one in several countries and was also highly acclaimed by critics . The album contained the single Nikes and was eventually certified platinum . In 2017 , Ocean was featured on the Calvin Harris single Slide , opposite Migos ; it became Ocean 's highest charting song in the US , peaking at number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 .
Channel Orange ( stylized as channel ORANGE ) is the debut studio album by American R & B singer and songwriter Frank Ocean . It was released on July 10 , 2012 , by Def Jam Recordings . After releasing his mixtape Nostalgia , Ultra in 2011 , Ocean began writing new songs with Malay , a producer and songwriter who assisted him with recording his debut album at EastWest Studios in Hollywood . Rather than rely on samples as he had with his mixtape , Ocean wanted to approach sound and song structure differently on Channel Orange . Other producers to work on the album included Om'Mas Keith and Pharrell Williams . Its recording also featured guest appearances from Odd Future rappers Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler , the Creator , vocalist/songwriter André 3000 , and guitarist John Mayer . Channel Orange has an unconventional musical style , drawing on electro-funk , pop-soul , jazz-funk , psychedelic music , and nonmusical sounds such as film dialogue and ambient noise that function as interludes . Vocally , Ocean uses a free-form flow as well as alternating falsetto and tenor registers throughout the album . His songwriting explores themes of unrequited love , decadence , class , and drugs through the use of surrealistic imagery , conversational devices , and descriptive narratives depicting dark characters . He titled the album as a reference to the neurological phenomenon grapheme-color synesthesia and the color he perceived during the summer he first fell in love . To prevent Channel Orange from leaking onto the Internet , Ocean and Def Jam released the album digitally one week earlier than its publicly announced date . It was promoted with five singles , including Ocean 's highest charting single Thinkin Bout You ( number 32 on the US Billboard Hot 100 ) and a supporting concert tour in July 2012 .
