Innerspeaker is the debut studio album by Australian musical project Tame Impala, released on 21 May 2010 by Modular Recordings. The album was recorded and produced by musician Kevin Parker at a remote beach shack in Western Australia during the summer of 2009,[4] who also wrote every track on it except for the interlude after "The Bold Arrow of Time".

Innerspeaker was acclaimed by critics for its reminiscence and reinvigorating of 1960s psychedelic rock. The album peaked at number 4 on the ARIA Charts and was certified platinum in the country. At the J Awards of 2010, the album won Australian Album of the Year.[5] It was recognized as the 83rd Best Album of the Decade So Far by Pitchfork in August 2014.[6] In March 2021, a 4xLP reissue of the album was released to celebrate the album's 10th anniversary.[7]
