Tame Impala ended a long silence on 22 March 2019 with "Patience", Kevin Parker's first single since "The Less I Know the Better" in 2015, dropped through Modular with just an hour's warning on Instagram. As ever it's Parker's show alone: he wrote it, sang it, produced it, engineered it and mixed it.
What he came back with is a loose-limbed, dancey spin on the Perth project's psychedelic pop, taking its cues from vintage disco and old-school house, all bright rolling groove with Parker's airy vocal floating over the top like he's got nowhere to be. The craft got noticed at home: the track earned him ARIA nominations for both Producer of the Year and Engineer of the Year, and Triple J listeners voted it 52nd in the Hottest 100 of 2019.
