In a display of Parker 's work ethic , work on the next Tame Impala album '' Lonerism '' had already started before '' Innerspeaker '' was even released . '' Lonerism '' was released on 5 October 2012 to widespread critical acclaim , winning many Album of the Year awards from the likes of NME Magazine , Rolling Stone Magazine and Triple J. '' Lonerism '' marks an extension of Parker 's music , featuring synths and poppier melodies , and also a more lavish , lush and expansive sound . Commenting on the new-found sound , Parker said that " '' Lonerism '' will be the kind of music that I felt as though I wanted to make during '' Innerspeaker '' , but I felt that it was too much of a jump . Back when I was doing '' Innerspeaker '' , I felt like I should make an album with only guitars , and use no synths , because I felt like it was a compromise to what we do . But I now know that it 's not . " At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015 he won two trophies , Engineer of the Year and Producer of the Year , for his work on Tame Impala 's '' Currents '' ( July 2015 ) ; the group won three further categories at the ceremony : Album of the Year , Best Group and Best Rock Album . On 30 March 2019 the band performed live on Saturday Night Live . On 13 April 2019 Tame Impala performed as the Headlining band of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival . On June 28th 2019 Tame Impala performed as the Other Stage headliner at Glastonbury Music Festival , one of the largest in the world
