A fractured hip isn't stopping Tame Impala from releasing a new single as part of the film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. The song "Wings of Time" is out now.

Unlike the woozy pysch Tame Imapala usually deals in, "Wings of Time" is muscular and surging — giving it a triumphant mood befitting an action movie soundtrack, a bit like "Elephant" with the trippy haze stripped away.

"Being asked to do a track for the D&D soundtrack seemed like an unmissable opportunity to indulge in my long time love of fantasy prog rock," said Tame Impala's Kevin Parker. "I recruited my good friend Nicholas Allbrook, who is the person I know appreciates this subject matter the most. We rented a villa in Spain, that kind of felt like a castle, for two nights whilst on tour for Primavera. That location got us in the right frame of mind and it went from there. We stayed up late coming up with weird ideas and song lyrics." 

Listen to the song below. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is in theatres on March 31.
