Tame Impala - Deadbeat (2025)
“Deadbeat” marks a clear stylistic departure for Tame Impala, venturing deep into dance-floor beats and electronic textures rather than the lush psych-rock of prior albums. Critics praise the production ambition and the embrace of “bush doof” rave culture influences, yet many feel the songwriting lacks the emotional clarity and cohesion of earlier work. Some tracks shine as inventive dance experiments, but others are criticized as repetitive or under-developed, leaving a disconnect between mood and execution. The lyrical focus on self-doubt, fame, and domestic tension gives the album an introspective weight, though the energetic electronic backdrop somewhat muffles its impact. Ultimately, Deadbeat is bold and sonically rich, yet feels uneven—an intriguing shift, but not fully satisfying.
