The as-yet-untitled effort will be the follow-up to 2020\u2019s <em>The Slow Rush<\/em>, which was released just weeks prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tameimpala\/p\/DMCfv6JS1Xc\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=19\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram post<\/a> earlier this week, Parker revealed a carefully cropped photo of a whiteboard showing a list of songs with the word \u201cDONE\u201d and various checkmarks written next to them. The artist debuted an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/kevin-parker-new-tame-impala\/\">unnamed new Tame Impala song<\/a> last month during a Barcelona DJ set, and sources tell SPIN that planning is well underway for a fresh round of touring with a completely redesigned stage show in the months to come.<\/p>\n<p>More from Spin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/07\/alabama-shakes-shake-rattle-and-rock-n-roll-again\/\">Alabama Shakes Shake, Rattle and Rock \u2018N Roll Again<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/07\/nine-inch-nails-tron-ares-single\/\">Nine Inch Nails Roar Ahead With First \u2018TRON: Ares\u2019 Single<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/07\/kaytranada-justice-make-fall-touring-team\/\">Kaytranada, Justice Make Fall Touring Team<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As for <em>Currents<\/em>, Parker took to Instagram to reflect on the first decade of its existence. The Grammy-nominated album nudged Tame Impala fully into the mainstream thanks to hits such as \u201cThe Less I Know the Better,\u201d \u201cLet It Happen\u201d and \u201cEventually\u201d and debuted at a then-career best No. 4 on the <em>Billboard<\/em> 200.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Currents<\/em> is 10 years old today. Really?? It doesn\u2019t feel like that at all,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI guess because it\u2019s stayed such a big part of my life since then it still feels fresh. When we play \u2018Let It Happen\u2019 live these days I still feel it deep in my soul. I guess also because it\u2019s taken me this long to really appreciate the music. I had more than one existential crisis during the making and release of this album. I couldn\u2019t tell if it was great or embarrassingly bad, not to mention the fans I would lose by switching up music styles so heavily.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople recently have asked me if I was feeling pretty chuffed with myself after making this album and the answer is always absolutely not!,\u201d he continued. \u201cThere was often so much doubt, but I knew it was an album I had to make. The lows were low but the highs were high. And during the highs, when I had forgotten to care what people were going to think, I\u2019d be driving in my car listening to mixes feeling like it was pure magic, and in those moments I remember thinking whatever the outcome I just had to go through with it, and believe in it even if it felt totally blind. Glad I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2015\/07\/review-tame-impala-currents\/\">contemporary review<\/a>, SPIN called <em>Currents<\/em> \u201cthe purest \u2014 and most complex \u2014 distillation of everything that makes the band such a nearly physical pleasure to listen to, whether it\u2019s the sprawling riffs found on their 2010 debut,\u00a0<em>Innerspeaker<\/em>, or this album\u2019s taffy-lurid\u00a0swirls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Parker will be back on the DJ decks for three early December shows in Australia opening for Justice, with whom he collaborated on the French electronic duo\u2019s hit 2024 album, <em>Hyperdrama<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>To see our running list of the top 100 greatest rock stars of all time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2021\/07\/the-greatest-rock-stars-of-all-time\/?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=bottomlink&amp;utm_campaign=yahoolink\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tame Impala is today (July 17) celebrating the 10th anniversary of its beloved album, Currents, but frontman Kevin Parker is also dropping some unsubtle hints about the state of the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[783,6,24,784],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kevin-parker","category-news","category-pushly","category-tame-impala"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3743\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
