Tame Impala Shares 7-Minute ‘End Of Summer’ Single

Tame Impala released a new single, “End Of Summer.” The seven-minute track marks the Columbia Records debut for the project helmed by Kevin Parker.

A description of the sprawling “End Of Summer” detailed Parker’s approach to creating the track:

Drawing from the deep, rich history of dance music, “End Of Summer” recasts Tame Impala as a kind of future primitive rave act. The track harkens back to the acid house summer of ‘89, to free parties of the mid-‘90s, to bush doofs in outback paddocks – to an imagined history, transmuted into something simultaneously present and eternal, still unmistakably Tame Impala.

The thrill of spontaneous studio experimentation that has marked Tame Impala recordings since the beginning is more evident than ever, Parker’s mastery of his craft imprinting the track with an array of brain-bending, subtly manipulative sparkle.

“End Of Summer” is the first new standalone Tame Impala song since 2023’s “Journey To The World” was included on the Barbie film soundtrack. Julian Klincewicz directed a “short form visual narrative” to accompany the new single.

“A new era begins,” Parker wrote on social media. “This is the first thing I want you guys to hear. I give you ‘End Of Summer’ … The video was shot in a place even dustier than my drum sounds. Hope you like it. Off we goooooo.”
