Tame Impala’s Return: « Dracula » and « Loser » announce the « Deadbeat Era »

Kevin Parker’s Tame Impala project is officially back, setting the stage for its fifth studio album, Deadbeat, set for release on October 17, 2025.

The latest singles, « Loser » (September 3) and the brand-new « Dracula » (September 26), confirm a bold sonic shift. Parker is pushing further into electronic and kinetic territory, blending his signature psych-pop with disco, house, and rave culture influences. While « Loser » offers a sleek, groove-heavy track, the Max Martin-inspired « Dracula » is a full-throttle anthem, with lyrics perfectly capturing the nocturnal energy of Australia’s « bush doof » scene.

Tame Impala’s return comes after years of high-profile hip-hop collaborations, demonstrating Parker’s versatility. His resume includes production work for artists like Travis Scott, and a feature on Kendrick Lamar’s album, but notably, he also work on Kanye West’s Ye album. These experiences seem to have fueled his electronic pivot, now fully realized in the propulsive sounds of Deadbeat.

The new album promises to be one of 2025’s most anticipated releases, bridging the gap between psychedelic rock fans and the global electronic music scene.
