Despite a few appearances at the odd festival, it has been more than 6 years since Tame Impala toured the UK and Europe.
Speaking to NME, Tame Impala has highlighted to fans that the forthcoming album will be “deeply inspired by bush doof culture and the Western Australia rave scene”, as well as one that reestablishes Tame Impala “as a kind of future primitive rave act”.
New single ‘Dracula’ follows this exact theme, a spooky display of synth, it’s a song that gets you on your feet and moving. Though on the slower side of the rave music some may be used to, its a tune for the soul, and commands serenity.
Elsewhere we have seen two new pieces of work released this year by the artist.
Although Tame Impala hasn’t graced the live stage since March 2023, Kevin Parker gave fans a surprise earlier this year by premiering the shimmering new track “End Of Summer” during a DJ set at Primavera Sound in Barcelona — a moment that sparked speculation about what’s next for the psych-pop visionary.
Earlier this month, Parker dropped the single ‘Loser’, accompanied by a cinematic new video starring Stranger Thingsactor and solo artist Joe Keery, also known as Djo. Now, all eyes turn to ‘Deadbeat’ — the highly anticipated fifth studio album from Tame Impala — as the project continues to unfold.
