Tame Impala / Justice
The music video for “Expectation” was released on December 3, 2010 and directed by Clemens Habicht. It was filmed in an autumnal forest near Saint-Cloud in France. Despite the acoustic confusion, clear song structures are always present, which was not a matter of course in the late 60s, where the sound of Tame Impala is located. “Expectation” captivates with its shimmering guitars, multi-layered effects and Kevin Parker's distinctive falsetto vocals. The hypnotic song structure is particularly striking: a loose groove develops into a psychedelic vortex that builds for minutes without ever being predictable. In keeping with the title, the lyrics deal with the inner tensions between what you expect and what actually happens. The songs are also limited to a maximum of 5 minutes, which is good for the whole thing.
Update: A significant milestone was reached at the beginning of 2025 when Tame Impala won the Grammy in the “Best Dance/Electronic Recording” category for the song “Neverender” together with the French duo Justice - Parker's first ever Grammy.

Pete Drake
In the early 1960s, Drake developed an innovative technique by combining his steel guitar with a "talk box." This device directed the guitar's sound through a tube into his mouth, allowing him to create vocal-like effects. His 1964 instrumental piece "Forever," which utilized this effect, reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over a million copies. Drake collaborated with numerous artists, including Bob Dylan on "Nashville Skyline" and George Harrison on "All Things Must Pass." His innovative use of the talk box inspired musicians like Peter Frampton, who later incorporated this technique into his own works. Pete Drake passed away on July 29, 1988, in Nashville, Tennessee, but left a lasting legacy in music history.
