Tame Impala’s last outing was 2015’s Currents and Parker has since collaborated with numerous artists like Kanye West, Travis Scott, Mark Ronson and Lady Gaga. According to Billboard , Parker is currently in the process of finishing the band’s fourth album.

The band will next be making an appearance on the 30 March episode of Saturday Night Live alongside Killing Eve actress Sandra Oh. Besides that, they are also headlining this year’s Coachella alongside Childish Gambino and Ariana Grande.

Fans took to Twitter and shared their reactions to ‘Patience’.

“They said disco was dead... but no one told disco.” [Decaying hand bursting out of a mirror ball] This summer, from Tame Impala, Kacey Musgraves, (and probably a bunch of other artists I’m calling it now) it’s... DISCO LIVES!!!!
