<i>Live at the Corner</i> (Tame Impala album) 2010 live album by Tame Impala

Live at the Corner is a digitally released live album by Australian electronic rock band Tame Impala. It was recorded on 23 October 2009 at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne, Australia.

<i>Lonerism</i> 2012 studio album by Tame Impala

Lonerism is the second studio album by Australian musical project Tame Impala, released on 5 October 2012 by Modular Recordings.

Recorded mostly in Perth, Australia, and Paris, France, Lonerism builds on the psychedelic sound of its predecessor and features 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.
