tame impala’s fifth full-length album, deadbeat. on it, parker sculpts a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date, recasting tame impala as a kind of future rave act in the process. deadbeat sounds like the work of an artist with a levelled up mastery and bristles with a revitalised energy for experimentation, there’s 12 songs crafted with a newfound embrace of spontaneity for the renowned perfectionist. how that manifests is a distinct minimalism and crunch to many of the tracks, with a clutch of crucial details, timbres and textures that add an ineffably new dimension to the sound, as well as a richer, more playful vocal range than ever.
