Djeneba AduayomTame Impala unveiled new song “No Choice” on Tuesday (Dec. 7) along with a slate of 2022 tour dates around the globe.
“It doesn’t matter if I want to go somewhere new/ At the end of the day, I have no choice/ It wouldn’t matter that I had to break it with you/ Going over it all, it brings no joy,” Kevin Parker sings on the track over a syncopated drum beat and atmospheric synths.
The track is set to be included on the upcoming deluxe box set edition of the psychedelic rocker’s 2020 album The Slow Rush, which promises to feature remixes and B-sides that didn’t make the original cut for the LP — including Lil Yachty‘s previously released remix of “Breathe Deeper” and pre-album one-off “Patience.” The box set will hit retailers and streaming platforms on Feb. 18 via Island Records Australia.
Meanwhile, Parker will hit the road with his touring band starting Feb. 27 with an appearance at Innings Festival in Tempe, Ariz. From there, Tame Impala will hit major metropolitan areas including Toronto, Brooklyn, Boston and Nashville throughout the spring before heading overseas to play Spain’s Primavera Sound Festival, London’s All Points East Festival and more. Tickets go on sale this Friday (Dec. 10) on the official Tame Impala website and Ticketmaster.

Fontaines D.C. have teamed up with Rosalía for their new collaboration, Where Is Gone?.
The song features on the Irish rock band's forthcoming album, Dopamine Chamber, which arrives on Friday (16.10.26). For guitarist Carlos O’Connell, working with the Spanish superstar is particularly special because of his own Spanish roots.
He explained: “I’ve admired Rosalía ever since her debut album, which I thought was absolutely beautiful.
“What excited me most was the way she continued to preserve Spain's musical traditions, something that felt spiritually connected to what we've been trying to achieve with Irish music. Having roots in both countries, it's been really special to witness. "She's an artist who has continued to amaze me at every point in her career.”
Frontman Grian Chatten has also described the collaboration with Rosalía as one of the most memorable achievements of his career.
He revealed that he felt "humbled" when she agreed to lend her voice to the band's album.
Speaking to NPR, Grian said: “I've always felt there's something almost like a single big idea that I'm personally trying to communicate to the world before I get old and die, if that makes sense. There's one thing I think I'll spend my life trying to express. I have a feeling she has a similar outlook. … I mean, she's an amazing arranger, composer and lyricist. It means so much that she wanted to sing on something we'd put together. It's definitely one of the highlights of my career.”
Rosalía's links to Irish rock music extend beyond Fontaines D.C. She also offered inspiration and helped develop the Spanish lyrics for U2's The Mirror Maker (Rosalía), a track from their forthcoming album, Carnaval de Luz.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, she spoke about frontman Bono, saying: “I don't know him personally, but he sent me a text explaining that he was working on a new project and had written a song called The Mirror Maker."
Rosalía joked that Bono had invented a few words of his own.
She recalled telling him: “I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I told him he could create his own language if he wanted to.”
She described the opportunity to collaborate with the 66 year old music veteran as a real privilege.
She added: “Bono is a legend.
“It's amazing.”
Bono recently revealed that he was worried about seeming like a stalker when he reached out to Rosalía to ask whether he could name the song after her.
