Tame Impala - Dracula

“Dracula” is a moody, dance-infused psychedelic pop track from Tame Impala’s 2025 album Deadbeat. Blending nocturnal club beats with dreamy synths, the song explores themes of isolation, vulnerability, and feeling out of place in the daylight. Kevin Parker channels a vampiric metaphor, expressing a preference for darkness and intimate, secret connections over the exposure and glare of everyday life. Its hypnotic rhythm and layered production make it both a club-ready track and a deeply introspective experience.
