Tame Impala - Deadbeat (preorder)

Deadbeat is the fifth full-length album from Tame Impala.

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.
