"Kevin Parker ushered in Tame Impala's return in July with " End of the Summer," which arrived with a trippy split-screen music video. Then, yesterday, he also rolled out the new song " Loser." Tame Impala tapped Joe Keery-the Stranger Things and actor who records his own music as Djo -to star in that music video where, for a brief few seconds, he swaps places with Parker to tell the tale of a dejected burnout."
"Deadbeat, according to a press release, "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.""
"Although The Slow Rush came out five years ago, Parker has been plenty busy since then. He won his first-ever Grammy Award, the Best Dance/Electronic Recording trophy, for the Justice collaboration " Neverender." Then there's all the film contributions, with Tame Impala recording " Journey to the Real World" for the movie, " Wings of Time" for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, a remix of " Edge of Reality" for , and the Diana Ross collaboration " Turn Up the Sunshine" for Minions: The Rise of Gru."
Tame Impala will release Deadbeat on October 17 via Columbia. The 12-song album includes previously released tracks "End of the Summer" and "Loser." Deadbeat draws inspiration from bush doof culture and the Western Australia rave scene. Kevin Parker recorded the album in his Fremantle hometown and at his studio in Injidup. Parker released music videos for the new songs, including one featuring actor-musician Joe Keery. Parker has remained musically active since The Slow Rush, winning a Grammy for a Justice collaboration, contributing songs to films, collaborating with artists like Thundercat, Justice, Gorillaz, and the Streets, and producing remixes.
