'Been busy': Kevin Parker cryptically teases new Tame Impala music
Published in Entertainment News
Kevin Parker has teased a new Tame Impala album.
The 39-year-old musician has cryptically suggested that new material from his musical project could be on the way as fans eagerly await a follow-up to the 2020 album The Slow Rush.
Kevin has posted a series of photos on Instagram, including one of him in the studio, one containing a progress chart of a track list - many marked with the word 'done' alongside them.
The post also included a snap of Parker posing with his wife Stephanie Lawrence, who is pregnant with the couple's second child.
He captioned the upload: "Been busy."
Tame Impala's website also suggests that new music could be on the way after a cryptic update suddenly appeared that altered the site' interface.
Intriguingly, the page's source code has also been changed and the message "iwaitedtiltheendofsummerandiranoutoftime" can be found.
Kevin collaborated with Dua Lipa by serving as a producer on her 2024 album Radical Optimism and enjoyed the "wild" experience of joining the pop star on stage at the Glastonbury Festival last year.
He told The Guardian newspaper last year: "The nicest thing about it was that it was Dua headlining Glastonbury, which is something she has wanted to do since she was a kid.
"I felt like I had a seat in someone's dream that they were living - I was just happy to be a part of it."
Kevin duetted with Dua on Tame Impala's 2015 track The Less I Know the Better although he was puzzled by the Houdini hitmaker's request to join her on stage at first.
He recalled: "I remember just being like, 'Really? Are you sure you want to play my little song during your set of absolute bangers?'
"She was pretty insistent - so after I double-checked with her that she wanted to do it, of course I was in."
Parker immediately bonded with Dua as they worked on the album and he was impressed at the superstar's lack of "ego".
He explained: "The energy Dua creates in her creative space is one of no ego - we all noticed there were no huge personalities in the room trying to dominate the process.
"When you speak to other writers, they've all got nightmare experience of people who were too big for the room."
