They don't come as often as you'd like but Kevin Parker's Tame Impala is one of the few musical projects with a sound unlike any other with musical explorations like no one else. Singles have that electronic disco groove, deep clubbing bass and that original psychedelic rock backbone of those early records. 

Tame Impala’s fifth full-length album, Deadbeat. On it, Parker sculpts a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date, recasting Tame Impala as a kind of future primitive rave act in the process.
 
Deadbeat sounds like the work of an artist with a leveled up mastery and bristles with a revitalized energy for experimentation. 12 songs crafted with a newfound embrace of spontaneity for the renowned perfectionist. How that manifests is a distinct minimalism and crunch to many of the tracks, with a clutch of crucial details, timbres and textures that add an ineffably new dimension to the sound, as well as a richer, more playful vocal range than ever.
