Tame Impala have technically put out two albums so far this year, and it seems like Kevin Parker is remaining busy through the foreseeable future. Today, recently resurfaced UK rapper Mike Skinner—a.k.a. The Streets—shared a snippet of what very clearly looks and sounds like a new single recorded with Impala’s Kevin Parker, complete with a video wherein the two play phone tag.

With the words “Social Distancing” populating on Skinner’s phone at the beginning of the clip, we can assume that’ll be the title of either the track or the mixtape it appears on—which is also rumored to feature a collab with IDLES following a mash-up the Bristol punks made incorporating tracks by The Streets. “THE STREETS X TAME IMPALA coming soon!!” is all the detail Skinner revealed over Instagram—see the post below.
