Deadbeat is the upcoming fifth studio album by Tame Impala, the musical project of Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker. It is scheduled for release on 17 October 2025 by Columbia Records. [1] [2] [3] The album was preceded by the singles "End of Summer", "Loser" and "Dracula". [4] [5]
While promoting his previous album The Slow Rush in a February 2020 interview, Parker mentioned that the next record would not take as long, saying that he has a “flourish of ideas”. [6] In February 2022, he reconfirmed in an interview that he’ll have "another Tame Impala album done sooner than what has been the pattern for me". [7] According to Parker, he started working on Deadbeat around 2023. [8]
Ahead of the album's announcement, Parker completed sessions in Fremantle and at his Wave House studio in Injidup, Western Australia. [9] Statements promoting the album describe it as "deeply inspired by bush doof culture and the Western Australia rave scene." [2]
In March 2024, Parker posted a picture of himself in his recording studio with the caption "don't worry" hinting at his next album. [10] On 13 July 2025 he posted a picture on his Instagram showing a school board with thirteen tracks listed up in a table format. [11] Tame Impala formally announced Deadbeat on 4 September 2025 [1] [2] , following the release of the album’s second single, “Loser” [9] . The album is scheduled for release on 17 October 2025 through Modular Recordings and Island Records.
On 18 July 2025, an unnamed 12-inch vinyl listing appeared on the Tame Impala webstore for pre-order. The release was later revealed to be the physical edition of "End of Summer", issued on 25 July 2025. Parker had first performed the song during a DJ set in Barcelona in early June 2025. [12]
The second single, "Loser", was teased when streaming service metadata for "End of Summer" briefly displayed fields replaced with the title "Loser". [4] Posters advertising a 3 September release date subsequently appeared in several cities, including Los Angeles and New York City. "Loser" was released on 3 September 2025 alongside a music video featuring actor-musician Joe Keery.
The third single, “Dracula”, was released on 26 September 2025 following teasers on social media. [13] Parker described the track as one of the defining moments of the Deadbeat era. [14] [15] “Dracula” was written by Parker in collaboration with Sarah Aarons and produced by Parker, with a music video directed by Julian Klincewicz. [15]
The album is planned to contain 12 tracks. [2] Track order and lengths is as published by Rolling Stone Australia and Billboard following the album’s announcement. [16] [17] [13]
Note: the length of the album version of "End of Summer" is 2 seconds longer than the single version, as visible in the Spotify album preview. [18]
All tracks are written by Kevin Parker, excluding "Dracula", co-written with Sarah Aarons.
