On "Deadbeat", Tame Impala's fifth album, Parker crafts a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, inane lyrics to date, portraying Tame Impala as a kind of primitive rave act of the future. "Deadbeat" is a work that sounds like an artist who has mastered his craft and is blossoming into new experimentation. 12 songs created with a newfound spontaneity from the renowned perfectionist. This manifests itself in a distinct minimalism and crunch in many of the tracks, with a range of crucial details, timbres and textures that add an indescribable new dimension to the sound, as well as a richer, more playful vocal range than ever before.
