“My good friend Theo’s excellent album is out at last,” Tame Impala‘s Kevin Parker writes via Instagram. “Few tracks co-produced by your guy KP.”

The album he refers to is Theophilus London‘s new album Bebey, which dropped this Friday past.

The first track and the album’s fifth, ‘Only You’ Tame Impala and London – or as several fans have dubbed the pair Theo Impala – premiered in October 2018 after performing together live together in Los Angeles earlier that month.

the song is a cover of a song of the same name from Nigerian musician Steve Monite, released in 1984.

Another, titled ‘Whiplash’, which had been available online for a number of years prior, was shared by the two in 2019.

Parker provides backing vocals on both.

London’s 3rd album also features appearances from Lil Yachty, Ariel Pink, and several others.

Tame Impala’s fourth album, The Slow Rush will arrive February 14.
