"Tame Impala made his return to NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series on Friday to celebrate the release of his new album, . Performing alongside his touring band, which includes longtime members Cameron Avery on bass, Jay Watson and Dominic Simper on guitar, and Julian Barbagallo on drums and percussion, Kevin Parker opted for an entirely-acoustic presentation for his Tiny Desk return. Parker had previously made his Tiny Desk debut in 2020, though due to the pandemic, it was presented "at home" instead of the NPR office."
"For his new set, Parker first led his band through a pared-down rendition "Borderline," a single from his 2020 album The Slow Rush. He continued with a pair of Deadbeat's singles: "Loser," which we named Song of the Week upon release, followed by the effortlessly-groovy "Dracula." Parker and co. concluded the set with a rendition of the Currents favorite "New Person, Same Old Mistakes." Each song includes layered and well-executed harmonies from his backing band."
