Deadbeat, the fifth studio album by Tame Impala, was released on October 17, 2025, through Columbia Records, marking the Australian project's first release on the label. Across 12 tracks and 56 minutes, Kevin Parker draws on the bush doof culture and the rave scene of Western Australia, turning long nights of dance music into a record that feels both wide open and tightly wound.

"End of Summer" won Best Dance/Electronic Recording at the 68th Grammy Awards on February 1, 2026, while the "Dracula (JENNIE Remix)" carried "Dracula" to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
