Kevin Parker FINALLY Announced a Release Date for Tame Impala's Fourth Album

Tame Impala released two songs "Patience" and "Borderline" way back in March and April.  Seems like a past life. If you had told me it was actually in January I would've believed you.  They weren't like promo tracks for a movie soundtrack where no album is expected to support the tracks. Nope. Just two new songs for world to hear in early 2019. A new album in the same calendar year would've seemed like a pretty safe bet. When they did SNL it felt inevitable. I guess "Patience" was just Kevin Parker foreshadowing? Now it's basically November and there is finally news thanks to Tame Impala's IG.

Hey everyone sorry i’ve been a bit quiet for the last 4 billion years and sorry it’s all been a bit weird this year, there are all sorts of excuses i could serve you but it basically all comes down to me hating the idea of giving you anything that isn’t the best my entire heart and soul and brain can give. But i’m so fucking relieved the day has finally come that i can give you a date, I guess you are too… And i’m so excited for touring next year and beyond with a new show and new album of songs and yes we’ll come to peru and yes we’ll come to brazil and wherever you live in the world because that’s all i want to do for the rest of my life. I’ll be waiting anxiously with you until feb 14 2020, in the meantime enjoy this quirky new song about your own inner paranoid thoughts telling you you’ve lost your mojo, and whose drum sound took me about 1 of those 4 billion years. love you all

After some perfectionism and overall weirdness the news is finally out. New Tame Valentine's Day 2020. While I'm a little disappointed it's so far from now, I guess it'll be cool to have something to look forward to after the Patriots win the Super Bowl again. I think it'll be Seattle.

You're about to get some Tama Impala references fucking Horatio Cain'd down your throat here so I suggest you just throw on your shades and Let It Happen.

Kevin Parker finally made up his mind on a release date.  I guess a 2019 release was not meant to be. Life is moving, can't you see? Well let me tell you this...The Moment this album is available, cause I'm a Man, I'll Eventually get around to buying it. 

Although Parker added another trimester of wait time, at least we now have a due date. February 14th, 2020. Valentine's Day. The jokes right themselves, but I'll Be Above it. 


I mean, bravo, dozo.


A third track off of The Slow Rush was released today coinciding with the album news  entitled "It Might Be Time".

It's a bummer the new album is not going to be released for another 108 days I'm beyond excited to know it's actually coming. Tame Impala is one of favorite bands and when I start releasing the "Best of 2010's" line of blogs in the upcoming weeks you'll be seeing plenty of them. There was a brief period in time where I was like maybe Kevin Parker was just going to do samples for Theophilus London and chill. Great to see he intends on making music for us until he dies. Hopefully that is long after I'm gone. 


P.S. Like all blogs I was on giphy looking for gifs (obviously) be careful around Tame Impala gifs. It's a web you can get stuck in for hours if you're not careful.
