  • A sold-out, untitled 12" vinyl appeared on the Tame Impala webstore
  • A whiteboard in Parker's studio (visible in social media posts) lists potential album tracks

Recent Projects and Collaborations

Since 2020's The Slow Rush, Parker has:

  • Produced tracks for Dua Lipa's Radical Optimism
  • Collaborated with Justice, winning a 2025 Grammy for "Neverender"
  • Released music for the Barbie soundtrack
  • Created remixes for Crowded House and Elvis Presley

Upcoming Appearances

Tame Impala is scheduled to perform DJ sets supporting Justice during their Australian tour in December 2025.
