After dropping two songs this summer season - "End of Summer" and "Loser" - Kevin Parker has finally announced a new Tame Impala album. It marks the first for the psychedelic music project in five years.
The follow-up to 2020’s The Slow Rush is titled Deadbeat and arrives October 17. According to a press release obtained by Pitchfork, the new album “is deeply inspired by bush doof culture and the Western Australia rave scene.”

Parker worked on the album in his Fremantle hometown and at his studio in Injidup, Western Australia. The 12-song project will include both “End of the Summer” and “Loser.”
Additionally, Parker has plotted a short United States tour in support of the new LP. It kicks off at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Halloween before dates in Chicago, Austin, and a Californian run with stops in Inglewood, Oakland, and San Diego. You can find more information about tickets on Tame Impala's official website.
Although The Slow Rush came out five years ago, Parker has been plenty busy. He won his first-ever Grammy Award (Best Dance/Electronic Recording) for the Justice collaboration “Neverender.” Then there’s all the film contributions, with Tame Impala recording “Journey to the Real World” for the Barbie movie, “Wings of Time” for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, a remix of “Edge of Reality” for Elvis, and the Diana Ross collaboration “Turn Up the Sunshine” for Minions: The Rise of Gru.
Of course, Parker has lent his skills to a number of other songs over the past couple years, too. He recorded “No More Lies” with Thundercat, “One Night/All Night” with Justice, “New Gold” with Gorillaz, and “Call My Phone Thinking I’m Doing Nothing Better” with the Streets. That doesn’t even include all the remixes artists like 070 Shake, the Crowded House, and Justice have asked him to do, or him helming the production board for Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism.
