Tame Impala have already previewed the forthcoming ‘Deadbeat’ with two singles, ‘End Of Summer’ and ‘Loser’. The latter track arrived with an official music video starring Stranger Things‘ Joe Keery (aka Djo).
The group have not performed live together since March 2023. However, Parker debuted ‘End Of Summer’ during a DJ set at Primavera Sound in Barcelona this summer.
‘Deadbeat’, which follows 2020’s ‘The Slow Rush’, is described as “a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations” that are “a vehicle for some of [Parker’s] most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date, recasting Tame Impala as a kind of future primitive rave act in the process”.
The description continues: “Deadbeat’ sounds like the work of an artist with a levelled up mastery and bristles with a revitalised energy for experimentation. 12 songs crafted with a newfound embrace of spontaneity for the renowned perfectionist.
“How that manifests is a distinct minimalism and crunch to many of the tracks, with a clutch of crucial details, timbres and textures that add an ineffably new dimension to the sound, as well as a richer, more playful vocal range than ever.”
In the time since ‘The Slow Rush’, Parker has contributed to the Barbie soundtrack album, and worked on projects with Dua Lipa, Thundercat, Diana Ross, Gorillaz and Justice.
