Tame Impala is back with “Dracula,” the latest new song off his forthcoming album Deadbeat.
With a throbbing beat, lush accents, warm harmonies, and buoyant vocal melodies, “Dracula” splits the difference between the haze-rave sound of lead single “End of Summer” and the more melodic psych-pop found in its follow-up, “Loser.” Though the iconic vampire Dracula is referenced, the track has more “Thriller”-esque pomp instead of doom and gloom; Kevin Parker narrates the culmination of an all-night rager, when daylight is imminent and the connections he’s forged will be tested. “Run from the sunlight, Dracula” he sings in the chorus, desperate to stay in the dark so the party can continue.
“Dracula” also arrives with a music video inspired by the Western Australia rave scene and ‘bush doof culture,’ which served as a significant reference point for Deadbeat. Throughout, moonlit partiers dance outside of a portable house that can be moved via a semi truck. Parker walks in and out of the scene with a pep in his step, but he looks slightly resigned. Watch the Julian Klincewicz-directed visual below.

“Dracula” follows previous singles “End of Summer” and “Loser,” the latter of which we named as our Song of the Week upon release. Deadbeat, Tame Impala’s fifth album, will arrive on October 17th via Columbia.
