Kevin Parker Previews New Tame Impala Music During Barcelona DJ Set
New music from Tame Impala appears to be on the way, with Kevin Parker giving fans a preview of fresh material during a DJ set in Barcelona. Parker – who formed the Tame Impala project in Perth, Western Australia in 2007 – gave his dedicated fans a taster of new music while in Spain over the weekend. Having made an unannounced appearance at Primavera Sound on Friday (June 6), Parker performed a surprise DJ set the following night at Barcelona's Nitsa Club.

'You guys want to hear a new song? 'You want to hear a new Tame Impala song?' he asked. 'You're going to be the first ones to hear it, you realize? There's no going back from this point on, you realize?' he added. 'Alright, let's do it; get comfortable.' Notably, the resulting tune was somewhat removed from what dedicated fans may have expected from the project, with it maintaining many of the dreamy, psychedelic rock influences that have become synonymous with Parker's music, though adding club-ready beats into the mix. As it stands, it's been five years since the last full-length release from Tame Impala. In February 2020, The Slow Rush became the project's fourth studio record, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. This was one position higher than the previous album, 2015's Currents, which served as a commercial breakthrough for Parker. In the time since the last record, Parker has been busy with myriad other projects. In 2023, second album Lonerism would receive a tenth anniversary reissue, and would be followed by the release of the track 'Journey to the Real World' for the Barbie soundtrack. Additionally, Tame Impala would also be credited with remixes of songs from Crowded House and Elvis Presley, and would appear as a guest artist on cuts from Diana Ross and Gorillaz. In 2024, Parker would serve as a producer and guest musician for Dua Lipa's Radical Optimism album, and would also serve as a guest artist on two tracks from French outfit Justice's Hyperdrama album. One of those collaborations, 'Neverender,' would see Parker win his first Grammy for best dance/electronic recording in 2025.
