There was some confusion among reviewers, several of whom referred to the release as 'Antares, Mira, Sun' after the notes written on the artwork, a representation of the Orion Nebula drawn by bandleader and songwriter Kevin Parker. In September of that year they released their first self-titled EP. After consideration, they stuck with the label who had shown first interest, and signed with Modular in 2008. Tame Impala sent them a demo with 20 songs, which led to requests and offers from everyone under the sun. It started when Modular Records sent them a message after hearing several songs on their MySpace page and asked for more.

The social networking website rocketed them from a teenage garage band to the sought-after trophy in a multiple-label bidding war. Like a lot of the buzz bands of the late 2000s Tame Impala's story involves MySpace. Cocooned away inside walls of psychedelic fuzz in Western Australia, they re-created their preferred period one song at a time with the aid of gear and production techniques that sounded like they hadn't been dusted off since 1968. They were as likely to be channeling the Nazz as the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Their sound was pure late '60s, but wasn't the sound of any specific band from the era. Kevin Parker (vocals/guitar) and Dominic Simper (bass) formed Tame Impala as 13 year olds in Perth in 1999, sticking to bedroom recordings until 2007, when Jay Watson joined them on drums and backing vocals.
