All signs have indicated that a new Tame Impala album is on the way. Kevin Parker released a new song, “ End Of Summer ,” in July, then he followed it yesterday (September 3) with “ Loser .”
Well, it’s happening: Today, Tame Impala announced Deadbeat , a new album set for release on October 17. Shortly before the announcement, Parker shared a teaser video on Instagram that includes a snippet of new music.
A press release notes that on the album, Parker “sculpts a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date,” and that the project is “deeply inspired by bush doof culture and the Western Australia rave scene, recasting Tame Impala as a kind of future primitive rave act in the process.”
It goes on
