Tame Impala (Kevin Parker) returns with the release of “End of Summer,” his first recording for new label Columbia Records. The song marks a new dawn for Tame Impala, as Parker once again expands the parameters of the project further into realms unexplored. Drawing from the deep, rich history of dance music, “End Of Summer” recasts Tame Impala as a kind of future primitive rave act. The track harkens back to the acid house summer of ’89, to free parties of the mid-90s, to bush doofs in outback paddocks - to an imagined history, transmuted into something simultaneously present and eternal, still unmistakably Tame Impala. The thrill of spontaneous studio experimentation that has marked Tame Impala recordings since the beginning is more evident than ever, Parker’s mastery of his craft imprinting the track with an array of brain-bending, subtly manipulative sparkle.

Newsletter: Biologists Assess Importance of Tree Cavities for Forest Birds in Subic, Philippines

[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]

By: Eunice Jean C. Patron

Many birds rely on tree cavities, or tree holes, for nesting and raising their young. Woodpeckers, known as primary excavators, can create their own cavities. In contrast, non-excavators—also called secondary cavity nesters—depend on naturally occurring or previously excavated cavities for reproduction. These birds face challenges such as a scarcity of suitable cavities, which can limit their population growth. To protect them, it is important to understand the specific nesting needs of each bird species and how they interact with one another. In regions like the Philippines, where forests are vulnerable to change, there is still limited information on how these birds nest and how they are connected.
