Updated: 12/10/2025, 10:40:45 AM Wikipedia source

Deadbeat is the fifth studio album by Tame Impala, the musical project of Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker. It was released on 17 October 2025 by Columbia Records, the first Tame Impala release on the label. Musically, Deadbeat was inspired by bush doof culture and the rave scene of Western Australia. The album was preceded by the singles "End of Summer", "Loser" and "Dracula". The album polarised critics and audiences. At the 2025 J Awards, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year. "End of Summer" was nominated in the Best Dance/Electronic Recording category at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.
