This weekend Tame Impala will headline their first ever UK festival, End of the Road, in Dorset.

It is off the back of their third album, Currents, which went in at number three in the Official Chart, their highest position to date.

It has been a gradual process for the Australian psych rockers, who are now amassing fans worldwide.

And for Kevin Parker, who effectively is Tame Impala, it could not have been any other way.

"I am glad it has been a slow, steady climb, because it gives me time to process this thing in my own time," he tells Newsbeat.

"Sometimes I have this kind of weird envy for artists who suddenly just shoot up as an overnight sensation.

"That must be a cool feeling, but at the same time, I feel like if that ever happened to me, I feel like I wouldn't know how to deal with it, so it's good, I can't complain."

And he is right, he can't complain.

The album has been Tame Impala's biggest success to date, despite him once describing it as "completely unlistenable".

"I have come around now," he laughs.

"I mean, that is how I always feel, I say it is unlistenable because I can't hear it without the flaws or the faults in it.

"But it has been a few months, and now I can listen to it, and enjoy it, as in just listening to an album."

Kevin Parker writes, produces and records everything that Tame Impala release and because of that, he often gets described as a 'genius'.

"Well, I was saying it all along, I'm just surprised it has taken people this long to pick up on it," he jokes.

"I think that kind of word is more like a character that people tag you with. It's more a way of processing the idea that someone does everything.

"For me, I have been making music on my own, multi-tracking all the instruments since I was really young.

"Not that it was very good back then, but it is kind of something I have grown up doing, and I guess for people on the outside who haven't kind of experienced that thing, it seems like some great feat," he says modestly.

This weekend, he and his band will take centre stage as they headline their first UK festival, End of The Road.

"It is a pretty new thing for us, festivals used to be a day thing, when we were not the main focus," he says.

"It was always a nice relief when we would headline our shows, then we would do a festival and just be like one piece of the puzzle, the pressure wasn't on us.

"I guess it puts a bit of responsibility on you, but it's cool it just gives a different vibe."

And while there is no official UK tour confirmed just yet, he promises there will be one at some point.

"The people probably have plans that I just haven't seen yet, well maybe I have seen, I just kind of glaze over things unless they are like a month from now."

"But I can say it's the UK, we will be there sooner or later."
