Is Tame Impala season approaching at last? Given Kevin Parker’s recent Instagram update, it very well might be.
“Been Busy,” reads the caption of his latest post, which depicts Parker in a variety of recording scenarios, dinner dates, DJ sets, festival areas, and more; the post also opens with a shot of him and his wife, Sophie Lawrence, pregnant with their second child. The last picture on the carousel, however, is a recording progress chart, with 13 songs checked off and marked “done.”
While Parker hasn’t formally confirmed a follow-up to 2020’s The Slow Rush, the photos show he’s been hard at work crafting new music. His collaborators and celebrity musician pals seem to be excited, both about new music and Parker expanding his family as well. “ugh i love you guys,” Dua Lipa wrote. “God I need this so bad rn .” said SZA. The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne, A$AP Rocky, The Marías, and Apple Music presenter Zane Lowe also expressed well wishes. Check out his post below.
With a few Tame Impala DJ sets happening this year (including some upcoming dates opening for Justice on their Australian tour in late 2025), new music is closer than it may seem; Parker recently debuted a brand new Tame Impala track during a DJ set post-Primavera Sound.
