Tame Impala have released a new single, Wings Of Time.
Dreamy and psychedelic, and anchored by a galloping beat, the track was written for the upcoming fantasy film, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which will be released in UK cinemas on March 31.
The song was created with the assistance of band leader Kevin Parker's friend, Pond frontman Nicholas Allbrook. Parker explained:
"I recruited my good friend Nicholas Allbrook, who is the person I know appreciates this subject matter the most. We rented a villa in Spain, that kind of felt like a castle, for two nights whilst on tour for Primavera. That location got us in the right frame of mind and it went from there. We stayed up late coming up with weird ideas and song lyrics… So given that I spent the first few years of my musical life making that kind of music, it kind of made sense to me. It was an opportunity to go back and play psych rock again."
It's not the first time Tame Impala have contributed a single to the soundtrack for a big-budget film, having most recently collaborated with Diana Ross on Turn Up The Sunshine, which features on Minions: The Rise Of Gru, and remixing Edge Of Reality for Baz Luhrmann's Elvis biopic. The group also appear on the new Gorillaz album, 'Cracker Island', alongside Bootie Brown on a song called New Gold.
In related news, Parker recently gave an update on his health via Instagram, revealing that he'd fractured his hip attempting to run a half-marathon. He confirmed that he's going to continue with their ongoing tour, which hits Mexico soon.
