Tame Impala Releases New Single Loser Featuring Joe Keery

Kevin Parker, the creative force behind Tame Impala, has released a new single titled "Loser," following last month's seven-minute, dance-influenced track "End of Summer." "Loser" showcases a funkier, slower-paced psychedelic sound with self-reflective lyrics, accompanied by a music video directed by Sam Kristofski featuring actor and musician Joe Keery. While not a collaboration musically, Keery stars in the video portraying a man lamenting a romantic misstep, with Parker briefly replacing him visually, emphasizing the song's introspective themes. Both singles are anticipated to appear on Tame Impala's forthcoming album, marking their first release on Columbia Records after previous works on Interscope, although no official album announcement has been made. Parker continues to innovate, having recently won his first Grammy and collaborated with artists like Justice and Dua Lipa, and is expected to support the new music with a redesigned stage show and tour in the near future. The new material highlights Parker's evolving sound, balancing nostalgic psychedelic elements with fresh stylistic explorations.
