“Deadbeat” was recorded between Parker’s hometown of Fremantle and his studio, Wave House in Juidup, Western Australia during the first half of 2025.
The upcoming project is said to be deeply inspired by the Bush Doof culture -electronic music festivals that are often kept in distant Bushland environments -popularized in Western Australia Rave scene, “reworking Tame Impala as a kind of future primitive rave document in the process”, by a press release. Lyrically channels “an infinite bummer, a self-shifting fuck-up stuck in a negative feedback trail when he would have long had his shit together.”
Tame Impala’s last edition in full length was “The Slow Rush” in 2020 when it debuted on No. 3 on Billboard 200, which marked his highest mapping album in the United States at that time. It also reached No. 1 on the publication vinyl album chart, with a significant part of its first week sales on vinyl.
“Deadbeat” is already available for pre -order with fans options to buy two exclusive web shops of vinyl color variants. Variants include an urban outfitters exclusive color vinyl and an exclusive color vinyl in indie disc store.
