Parker pivots toward bush doof–rooted club sonics with a 12-track set built solo at home in Western Australia.

Overview

  • The 12-song release includes July’s “End of Summer” and new single “Loser,” whose Sam Kristofski–directed video stars Joe Keery with a brief Beck cameo.
  • Recording took place in early 2025 between Fremantle and Parker’s Wave House studio in Injidup.
  • Credits list Kevin Parker as sole writer, producer, mixer and mastering engineer on the project.
  • Preorders are live with retailer‑exclusive formats, including Urban Outfitters and indie‑store vinyl colorways plus limited numbered cassettes via Brooklyn Vegan and Alternative Press.
  • Post‑release activity includes December DJ sets in Australia opening for Justice.
