Tame Impala Returns With New Single ‘End Of Summer'
Tame Impala has officially launched their comeback with a new, seven-minute single entitled 'End Of Summer'. The psych-rock project's first standalone music in two years had been teased on social media in the week leading up to its release on Friday, July 25th, with one caption encouraging fans to 'clear seven minutes of your schedule' as a hint to its length. At seven minutes at 13 seconds, it its the second-longest Tame Impala single behind 2015's 'Let It Happen', which clocks in at 7:46. 'A new era begins,' wrote the project's figurehead Kevin Parker in a statement shared to social media. 'This is the first thing I want you guys to hear. As is tradition, go and find your favourite sound system.' An accompanying music video for the song has also been shared, which was directed by LA-based filmmaker Julian Klincewicz. The nine-and-a-half minute video was filmed across several undisclosed locations, although Parker quipped he and Klincewicz went to 'a place even dustier than my drum sounds' to film it. The music video for 'End Of Summer' can be viewed below. Tame Impala – 'End Of Summer' Tame Impala's fourth studio album, The Slow Rush, was released in February 2020, just weeks before the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, its rollout was stunted and its supporting world tour was delayed by roughly two years; the project's debut arena tour of Australia was ultimately shifted from April 2020 to October 2022. Nevertheless, the album was still a considerable success; it debut at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified Platinum. Since the release of The Slow Rush, Parker's focus has largely been on collaborating with other artists. The 2020s has seen him release collaborative singles with acts such as The Streets ('Call My Phone Thinking I'm Doing Nothing Better'), Diana Ross ('Turn Up The Sunshine', for the Minions: The Rise Of Gru soundtrack), Gorillaz ('New Gold', alongside Bootie Brown), Thundercat ('No More Lies') and Justice ('One Night/All Night' and 'Neverender'). In 2024, Parker served as a producer and songwriter on Dua Lipa's third studio album, Radical Optimism, alongside Danny L. Harle. Lipa has featured Parker as a special guest at her shows since the release of Radical Optimism. He joined her on-stage during her headlining performance at Glastonbury in 2024, playing guitar on 'Houdini', while earlier this year she brought him out as a special guest at one of her Melbourne shows to perform Tame Impala's 2015 hit 'The Less I Know The Better' – a song which, just this weekend past, was voted in at number 15 in the triple j Hottest 100 Of Australian Songs. At the time of writing, no further information on Tame Impala's fifth studio album or tour dates have been shared. Parker will, however, be doing DJ sets on Justice's debut arena tour of Australia in December 2025, and is likely to perform both 'One Night/All Night' and 'Neverender' live with the duo.

‘He was a creative force': Lead singer of '60s psychedelic rock legends dead at 82
James Lowe, frontman of '60s psych-rock icons The Electric Prunes, who were best known for their Top 10 hit 'I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night,' has died, aged 82, according to published reports. Lowe, who went on to a successful career as an engineer and producer, working with such artists as Sparks and Todd Rundgren, died on May 22, his family reported, according to Variety. Lowe left the music industry in the early '70s and eventually found a second act in the world of industrial filmmaking, according to Variety. Lowe reunited the Prunes in the late 1990s and continued to perform through the end of his life, according to Variety. In a statement, Lowe's family said the singer 'passed away ... from natural causes - suddenly, yet peacefully - surrounded by family and music.' Lowe leaned into the wave of nostalgia for his old combo band that only seemed to heighten in recent years. He performed for an adoring crowd in Los Angeles at a 'Nuggets' tribute show in 2023 ('I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night' was the kickoff song to that classic garage-rock compilation). He also recently gave retrospective interviews for a series of rock podcasts, according to Variety. 'James left this world peacefully - his heart giving one final electric beat, surrounded by the loving embrace of his family and enveloped by the sounds of his favorite music,' his children Lisa, Cameron, and Skylar said in a statement, according to Variety. 'He was a creative force, a rock star without pretense, and someone who lived and loved fully. But the most important ingredient to James' life was his 62-year marriage to Pamela, his guiding star and enduring muse for all things. … James was a visionary, a dreamer, a doer who never stopped creating, exploring, lifting others up - or believing in what's possible,' his family said.
