Deadbeat by Tame Impala
Deadbeat is an album by Tame Impala, released in 2025. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 26 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Dracula”, on 16 lists with a best position of #3.
Deadbeat, the fifth Tame Impala album, arrived on 17 October 2025, Kevin Parker's first release for Columbia, and it trades the old psychedelic haze for the thump of the bush doof, taking its cues from the outdoor rave scene of Western Australia. As ever in the studio, Parker wrote, played, recorded and produced it himself, and here the grooves stretch out long and hypnotic, synth pulses and pounding kicks wrapped around his wistful, fogged-up vocals.
"End of Summer" came first, then "Loser" and "Dracula", and they did real damage: "End of Summer" won the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recording, and a "Dracula" remix with Blackpink's Jennie gave Tame Impala a Billboard Hot 100 top ten for the very first time. Critics were split down the middle, but it still landed a J Awards nomination for Australian Album of the Year.
