Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker creates sleep-inducing ‘Bedtime Mix’ for Radio One

Parker's mixtape included tracks by Air and Kraftwerk

Kevin Parker, frontman of Australian psych group Tame Impala, provided a ‘Bedtime Mix’ last night for Phil Taggart’s BBC Radio One show.

The 30-minute mixtape – Parker’s entry in a feature that challenges musicians to create a soporific soundtrack – included music from Panda Bear, Air, King Crimson, Frank Ocean, Kraftwerk, Gotye and The Flaming Lips.

“Making a chilled-out playlist is not something I do regularly,” Parker said, “but having been asked to do it, I’m looking back at the playlist now, and I may actually put this on tonight when I go to bed.”
