Tame Impala officially returns today with the release of “End of Summer”, the first non-collaborative track from the beloved Kevin Parker indie-psych project since 2020 LP The Slow Rush.
The new track, Parker’s first Tame Impala release on new label Columbia Records, once again widens the parameters of the long-running project. Drawing from the deep, rich history of dance music, “End Of Summer” recasts the dreamy Tame Impala sound as the soundtrack to a hazy memory of a ’90s warehouse rave.
Appropriately, Kevin Parker debuted his new foray into ethereal house music in June 2025 during a DJ set in Barcelona, Spain. “You want to hear a new song? You want to hear a new Tame Impala song?” Parker asks in a clip of the show that circulated on social media. “You’re gonna be the first ones to hear it, you realize. There’s no going back from this point on, you realize. Alright, let’s do it. Get comfortable.”
Clocking in at over seven minutes in length as a single—and more than nine minutes on its dual-perspective, Julian Klincewicz-directed music video—”End Of Summer” sounds like an excellent acid house DJ remixing an unreleased Tame Impala demo at an underground nightclub. Get ready to dance.
A press release heralding the arrival of “End Of Summer” did not indicate whether or not the new track was part of an upcoming Tame Impala album.
Below, watch the official music video for new Tame Impala single “End of Summer” as well as a clip the track’s live debut during a Kevin Parker DJ set earlier this summer. Listen to the single on the streaming platform of your choice here.

While straight-ahead Tame Impala releases have remained relatively rare, Kevin Parker has emerged as one of the most influential voices in popular music over the last decade. Renowned for carving out a singular sound, Parker plays every instrument and acts as writer, producer, mixer, and engineer on his own projects in addition to hiring out his services to a who’s who of contemporary hitmakers including Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, SZA, Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, Mark Ronson, Gorillaz, Thundercat, Kali Uchis, 070 Shake, Rhianna, Miguel, A$AP Rocky and many more.
Tame Impala has headlined festivals and arenas around the world and released four full length albums: InnerSpeaker (2010), Lonerism (2012), Currents (2015), and The Slow Rush (2010), the latest of which landed at #1 in multiple territories and was Parker;s highest charting album to date in both the U.S. and the U.K., with 14 top 10 chart positions around the world.
While Parker has appeared with other artists during various high-profile live shows in recent years, he has not performed an official Tame Impala concert since 2023 and has not mounted a concert in the U.S. since the 2022 edition of Desert Daze Music Festival in Perris, CA. Here’s hoping a Tame Impala tour is in the works as Parker ramps back up. We need to dance to this song ASAP.
