Flame Impala

Jenna Writes :

I was a little late to the game when it came to listening to Tame Impala. Maybe I had heard the song “The Less I Know The Better” once or twice but I hadn’t really spent much time listening to their discography until more recently.

One of the first times I was introduced to them was when I was attending a music festival back in 2017, where they were one of the many headliners that day. I never did see them that time, however, that same year I started fully emerging myself in their music and I’m so glad I did. Since then, Tame Impala has easily become one of my favorite artists in a short amount of time.

I highly recommend them to anyone who has had doubts about giving them a try and this playlist might be a good place to start.

Matt Writes:

A dear friend of mine loves to poetically give me a hard time when I have slept on a great artist. (I do this way too often actually.) So years ago when I told him that I had never heard of Tame Impala, he first replied:

“Wow you sound old.”

Then he described the sound:

“He sings like baby John Lennon and it’s some of the fattest drum tones you’ve ever heard.”

After several years of diving into the music, admiring its energy, creativity, and production, I can definitely say that my friend’s initial description still holds up.

Jenna Barton

My name is Jenna Barton. I currently live in a small town in Illinois. Although I live in small town I have always been a big city girl at heart. I live near the great city of Chicago, where I try to visit as often as I can. I enjoy seeing new places and being around people. I'm not sure what my future holds, but I do know that music will be apart of it.

Music has always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. You can find me listening to music in between classes and during nature walks. Ive had a passion for music at a young age when I started my own musical discovery. My journey into music led me into the boyband area for a while, but now its very diverse and I am always looking for something new to listen to.

I wouldn't be able to pick a favourite artist or song right now because its constantly changing. Music has changed my life for the better and I want nothing more than to share that with you.
