Parker pivots toward Western Australia’s bush‑doof rave culture with 12 tracks shaped in his home region.

Overview

  • The LP spans 12 songs and includes the pre-release singles “End of Summer” and “Loser.”
  • “Loser” arrived Sept. 3 with a Sam Kristofski–directed video starring Joe Keery, with Beck making a brief cameo confirmed by Parker.
  • Kevin Parker developed the album in early 2025 in Fremantle and at his Wave House studio in Injidup, Western Australia.
  • The release is Tame Impala’s first full-length on Columbia Records, with pre-orders open, exclusive vinyl variants, and limited-number cassettes available.
  • Parker will appear as a special guest DJ on Justice’s Australian arena tour in December 2025.
