The psychedelic music project led by Kevin Parker debuts first track since 2020's The Slow Rush

New Music After Five-Year Hiatus

Australian musician Kevin Parker has unveiled "End of Summer," the first new Tame Impala single in over five years. The seven-minute track marks Parker's debut release under new label Columbia Records and represents a notable shift in his signature sound.

A Departure From Previous Work

While maintaining Parker's distinctive vocals, "End of Summer" explores new sonic territory:

•  Incorporates elements of dance and electronic music
• Builds on disco influences hinted at in previous albums
• Described in press materials as "future primitive rave"

The single arrives with a music video directed by Julian Klincewicz, featuring rapid-cut imagery and performance footage.
