Tame Impala’s frontman Kevin Parker has purchased the Yallingup beach house where he recorded two of his critically acclaimed albums, including his first solo offering Innerspeaker in 2009, and his third album, Currents, in 2014.
Parker bought the property at 231 Injidup Spring Road for $2.75 million.
The iconic, yet rustic, property, dubbed Wave House, takes in world-class views of Western Australia’s south-west and has been used by high profile musicians as a recording studio and a site to stage impressive events.

Built in the 1980s by American producer and music industry veteran Ken Eichenberg, Wave House has been frequented by some of the biggest names in the business, including the Beastie Boys, Fatboy Slim, The Waifs and Fat Freddy’s Drop as a studio retreat.
Selling agent Lee York, from JHY Realty – Dunsborough, said the vendor was delighted to know the home’s musical legacy will live on.
“The property was sold to someone who will continue to keep the music alive onsite as the property has such a strong history with the local and international music scene,” Mr York said.
