My Old Ways by Tame Impala

With the release of their latest album Deadbeat, Tame Impala remind us why they continue to shape the psychedelic pop landscape. Among the standout tracks is “My Old Ways”, a song that perfectly captures Kevin Parker’s ongoing fascination with memory, regret, and transformation.

Tame Impala has never shied away from introspection, and with “My Old Ways,” Parker revisits themes of personal evolution. The shimmering synths and thudding basslines feel like a sonic metaphor for the cycle of breaking habits and slipping back into them—a universal experience dressed in a dream-pop aesthetic. It echoes the emotional tension found in earlier work, but there’s a noticeable maturity in its restraint.

“I thought I’d left them behind / but they find me every time.”

This line lingers like a haunting reminder that change isn’t always linear. In many ways, “My Old Ways” pays homage to the emotional backbone that made albums like Currents so beloved, while still pushing into new sonic territories introduced in Golden Tethers.

As the band enters a new era, this track bridges the past and the present—with layered production, introspective lyrics, and that unmistakable Tame Impala polish that fans have grown to revere.
