Kevin Parker's fifth Tame Impala album, released in October 2025 as his first for Columbia Records, leans into the four-on-the-floor pulse of dance music, drawing on the outdoor "bush doof" rave culture of his native Western Australia. Recorded over two years between his home studio in Fremantle and a beachside studio in Injidup, Deadbeat pairs psychedelic textures with club-ready grooves, including co-writes with Sarah Aarons. Reviews split between listeners cheering a joyful return to the dancefloor and critics calling it repetitive, though single "End of Summer" still won a Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recording.
