Liner Notes
Kevin Parker has spent the better part of fifteen years slowly dissolving the line between bedroom studio obsessive and arena-filling auteur, and each Tame Impala record has landed as a genuine recalibration of where psychedelic music can go. The gap since 2020's *The Slow Rush* is the longest of his career, and what he's emerged with suggests he spent that time tearing down assumptions rather than refining them.
Tame Impala’s fifth full-length album, Deadbeat, available on CD. On it, Parker sculpts a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date, recasting Tame Impala as a kind of future primitive rave act in the process.
Deadbeat sounds like the work of an artist with a leveled up mastery and bristles with a revitalized energy for experimentation. 12 songs crafted with a newfound embrace of spontaneity for the renowned perfectionist. How that manifests is a distinct minimalism and crunch to many of the tracks, with a clutch of crucial details, timbres and textures that add an ineffably new dimension to the sound, as well as a richer, more playful vocal range than ever.
