Kevin Parker airs new Tame Impala song during DJ set
Kevin Parker aired a new Tame Impala song during a surprise DJ set at Primavera Sound at the weekend.
The Australian star entertained the masses with a set at Nitsa Club after the Barcelona festival ended on Saturday night.
Those in attendance were in for a treat when Parker announced he would play a never-before-heard track.
"Er, you guys wanna hear a new song?" he asked the crowd.
"You want to hear a new Tame Impala song? You're going to be the first ones to hear it, you realise.
"There's no going back from this point on. Alright, let's do it. Get comfortable."
Parker then played the beat-heavy tune, the name of which remains a mystery.
Tame Impala's last studio album was 2020's The Slow Rush.
Parker sold his entire music catalogue to Sony Music Publishing in 2024.
The Borderline hitmaker reached a global deal with the label, which is said to cover all his past and future releases including work he had done for Rihanna, Sir Mick Jagger, Gorillaz and Mark Ronson.
"The idea of passing on ownership of my songs is one that I don't think about very lightly, at all," he said in a statement at the time.
"They are the fruit of my blood, sweat and creativity over all the years I've been a recording artist and songwriter so far."
Exact details of the agreement were not made public.
"I have a lot of love and trust for the Sony publishing family and have only had great experiences with Damian Trotter and the rest of the gang worldwide," Parker said.
"I don't think my songs could be in any safer hands than Sony's, and I'm excited for the future and happy I can keep working with them on whatever the future brings."

‘What's the point?': Aussie Larissa Kay questions if university degrees pay off in the housing crisis
A young Aussie's rant about the cost of living crisis has gone viral on TikTok as she poses the question 'what's the point?'. Larissa Kay posted a string of videos, with the first amassing 880,000 views, talking about the issues young Australians face and how she hasn't gotten where she wanted to be in life. 'Is anyone else kind of like what's the point, if you're maybe in your 20's, your 30's... and you've finished school, gone to uni, got a degree, which is meant to get you a good job,' she said online. Loading TikTok Post 'That job is meant to pay for a house, and maybe a holiday once a year, and maybe have some kids. 'And that's not happening now, you're kind of like, what's the actual point of anything.' It's a confronting question for many during the cost of living crisis Australian's face, as inflation continues to increase the prices of goods, services and housing costs. The video then moved towards self-reflection, as the TikTokker ranted about where she was at in life. 'I'm 28 and I thought by now I might have a three bedroom house, maybe thinking about kids, maybe be successful in my career,' she said. 'I live in a tiny f**k ass studio... I moved regional to try and save money and there's no jobs out here. 'It's made me reassess my whole life, what am I doing? Should I just go travelling?' In a follow up video, the blame is put back on the system with frustrations over people struggling to find jobs. While questioning the point of going to university. 'Australia is bloody cooked,' Kay said. 'If people are working harder than ever and most people I know, they're working their full time job, they've got a couple of side hustles, and they still can't afford a house. 'We have a serious problem and people who are university qualified - I'm talking engineers, doctors, lawyers, healthcare professionals, teachers - people who are in high demand. 'These people can't afford to live where they are required to work, that is a serious issue, no wonder productivity is down.' Housing prices continue to be an issue, with Perth seeing a 18 per cent increase in median house prices over the past 12 months - and showing no signs of slowing down. Comments echoed the videos opinion about the struggles young Australians face in today's economy. 'We have a doctor and lawyer in the family and they can't afford houses in Sydney where they work,' a comment said. 'Uni is the biggest lie young people have ever been sold,' another followed up. 'Our parents and grandparents still don't realise how good they had it,' a third said. 'The fact 'side hustles' has become the norm to just stay afloat is wild. Heaven forbid you thought your job you earn a salary from should support you alone,' one pointed out.

Pat Cummins and Jeremy Clarkson trade farming and cricket tips ahead of ICC World Test Championship finals
What's the difference between a hobby farm and a real farm? 'A (hobby farm) makes absolutely no money,' Pat Cummins said, with a laugh. 'Costs money and makes no money!' When Cummins isn't stepping out onto the pitch as the captain of the Australian cricket team, he can be found on his hobby farm in NSW's Southern Highlands. He told The Nightly it was a passion, not a profit venture, and 'a happy place' for him and his family. 'We love that whenever life gets busy to just be able to go back there. 'My uncle had a farm growing up, so we'd go there twice a tear and there are so many memories as kids, kind of running around a farm. So, I always wanted that, and especially having kids, I was like, 'Oh, that'd be awesome to have that for our kids'. But just last week, Cummins had to sell the farm's 10 cows. They had even named them. 'My wife cried. It was a long negotiation with my wife, but they were just getting so big, they were wrecking the fences and (it was) dangerous. We're going to redo some of the fences over the next six months, we're just going to have nothing on there for about a year.' Loading Instagram Post Cummins has a way to go before he's a proper pastoralist, but he got a small taste of a working farm when he went to visit Jeremy Clarkson's holdings in the Cotswolds, where the UK TV personality films his reality series, Clarkson's Farm. The confab was a promotional crossover between the show which is on Prime Video and Cummins' role as an ambassador the streaming platform, and will feature in an episode in the upcoming fifth season. Cummins threw some bowls as Clarkson's co-star, Charlie Ireland, tried, mostly in vain, to bat the ball. Clarkson, an avowed non-cricket fan, stood on the sidelines while needling his mate. Sadly, the encounter didn't convert Clarkson to the sport. 'He strikes me as someone who's going to be hard to change his mind on things,' Cummins said. 'I don't really like race cars, or I don't mind it, but I don't know anything about race car driving, So, we didn't get too deep. 'Played a game of cricket, didn't really get involved. But he asked a lot of questions about the (Indian Premier League), I think as a way in to try and sell these cricket bats into India.' In a recent episode of Clarkson's Farm, the team planted willow trees that will be harvested to craft the bats that are in high demand in India. But there's a catch, the willows won't be ready to harvest for 15 years. Cummins is in the UK prepping for the Australian side's clash with South Africa in the ICC World Test Championship finals at Lord's Cricket Ground. Australia will be defending its title in the competition, which is streaming on Prime. 'It's high pressure and we want to win,' he said. 'We've had a great couple of years, we've the final, that's a huge achievement. To win would obviously be amazing, but it's a one-off test match, things can happen, and we feel really well placed.' The competition is relatively new, having only launched in 2019 and each cycle runs over two years. 'The first time around, it felt very new. Once we saw New Zealand win it, and we just missed out, as a team, we thought, 'No, no, that's something we actually want to win and take seriously. 'You're competing against every other test play nation, so it's like a Mickey Mouse competition, you're up against everyone, just like any other ICC event. It's gaining momentum, it's got quite a bit of relevance in world cricket.' For Cummins, test cricket is still the epitome of the sport, so anything that boosts the format is right up his alley. 'No doubt the world is changing in terms of there's just more cricket than there ever has been,' he said. 'The challenge is trying to make sure test cricket stays right at the top of that because us players, we love it more than any other format, or I do. 'That's kind of real cricket and we love it. I know they're talking some ideas this week at the (Marylebone Cricket Club, based at Lord's). Anything that keeps test cricket number one for me is all excellent.'
