Tame Impala is generating excitement among fans with the upcoming release of their new single, “End of Summer,” set to debut this Friday, July 25. The anticipation was sparked by a surreal teaser video shared on X/Twitter, featuring eclectic visuals of a couple near a motorbike, interrupted by a stranger. The video concludes with the announcement of the single’s title and release date, accompanied by immersive, warped synth sounds.
The band’s official website adds to the buzz with a countdown, and the already sold-out 12-inch vinyl pre-order suggests that fans may soon be treated to a larger project. This could mark the band’s first album since 2020’s “The Slow Rush.”
Kevin Parker piqued interest even further by unveiling unreleased tracks during his DJ set at a Primavera Sound afterparty in Barcelona, a mix of garage-rock nostalgia combined with house influences. Fans have also noticed enigmatic Instagram posts, including an image of a whiteboard listing 13 “done” tracks, and a cryptic hidden message on the website that reads, “iwaitedtiltheendofsummerandiranoutoftime.”
This artistic rollout showcases Tame Impala’s signature style of mystery and immersion, ensuring that fans are engaged and eagerly anticipating what the band has in store. This upcoming release has the potential to be a refreshing addition to their discography, keeping the hopes high for another outstanding project from the group.
