Tame Impala (Kevin Parker) returns with the release of “End of Summer,” his first recording for new label Columbia Records. The song marks a new dawn for Tame Impala, as Parker once again expands the parameters of the project further into realms unexplored. 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.
