41 Mosquitoes Flying in Formation

Tame Impala

“Forty One Mosquitoes Flying In Formation” is the fourth single in Tame Impala’s EP album. It was later in 2010 sampled/remixed by “Poolside” and renamed “41 Mojitos (Canyons) Poolside Dub” on an album titled Extraspeaker, which also appears in iTune’s Innerspearker Collectors Edition.

The songs in EP were selected from a list of approximately 20 songs that Kevin Parker had recorded as far back as 2003, which he had sent to their label Modular Recordings. Speaking about the EP release Parker said:

Most of the songs on the EP were never meant to be heard by the rest of Perth, let alone the rest of the world. They were just recorded for my own listening sake, and burning a CD of it and putting it in my car and giving it to my friends.“ Parker also revealed that "The EP was not in anyway recorded for an EP. The songs that were on the EP weren’t even recorded at the same time, they were done over a bunch of years.
