Kevin Parker winds back the clock, tunes up the dancefloor and reminds us to get our arms out wide (or up high) on Deadbeat, Tame Impala’s fifth and latest full-length studio album.
Dropping at midnight, Oct. 17, Deadbeat is the production maestro’s first Tame Impala album in five years, and the first through the Sony Music network, by way of a new deal with Columbia Records.
As previously reported, Deadbeat is inspired by the “bush doof” culture of Parker’s native Western Australia rave scene, a moment in time impressively captured on its first release, “End of Summer”.
Parker will assemble his touring band for a raft of newly-announced pan-European and U.K. concerts next year, starting April 4 at Super Bock Arena in Porto, Portugal and wrapping up May 13 at 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.
