KEXP interviewed Kevin Parker about this album way back in the day: "All of us are in at least 4 bands. Tame Impala is the one that’s most different from the rest because it’s a solo project. The rest are very much collaborative, all friends, all-hands on deck kind of thing. Pond. Mink Mussel Creek. Space Lime Peacock. Whale Hammer. There are so many, and the fact that they have names is almost futile sometimes. It’s just lots of people making lots of noise. We sort of put loose boundaries around them and call that a band."

'Albarn makes a show of tearing himself open, yet stretches so far to “transcend” autobiography, as he puts it, that the guts drop out. Could “Barbaric”—a lackadaisical breakup anthem with a Johnny Marr-style riff and a chorus about “barbaric” disunity—in fact allude to political polarization?' - very Pitchfork review: pitchfork.com
