Tame Impala returns in 2025 with Deadbeat, the highly anticipated fifth full-length studio album from multi-instrumentalist and producer Kevin Parker. Released via Columbia Records, this project finds Parker navigating the "shabby-sounding" intersection of psych-house, dance-pop, and his signature kaleidoscopic rock, marking a distinct shift toward club-focused textures and analog experimentation.
Inspired by the "bush doofs" (outdoor raves) of his native Australia and his own reflections on late-teen aimlessness, Parker describes Deadbeat as an exploration of irregularity. The album utilizes a unique production style where drum machines are processed through guitar amps to create what Parker calls a "wobble"—a rhythm that feels intentionally misshapen or "dead."
Key Highlights:
- "Loser": A woozy, addictive, and loping dance-inflected rock standout.
- "End of Summer": An epic, twitchy, quasi-techno number showcasing the album’s expansive scale.
- "My Old Ways": A five-minute opener featuring jazzy piano licks and a shuffling house groove.
- Genre Exploration: A bold venture into Psych-House and Dance-Pop, moving further away from the project's psychedelic rock roots.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of the Lonerism era or a follower of Parker’s more recent disco-infused productions, Deadbeat offers a provocative look into the mind of an artist obsessively pushing the boundaries of his own sound.
