DMA’S made a huge impression with their debut album, HILLS END, in 2016, which went Gold in their Australia homeland and became a word-of-mouth success in the UK and throughout Europe. The band have raised their game even further with the follow up, FOR NOW, released on 27 April. Produced by the band alongside KIM MOYES of The Presets, FOR NOW is a gloriously uplifting album of beautifully honed, passionately emotive songs. A teaser of what to expect emerged late last year when DAWNING was released. Demonstrating that DMA’S are brimming with confidence, its hooks and rich melody made for the kind of timeless indie anthem that bands rarely seem to write anymore.

The purity and command of song craft is also vividly on display throughout the new single, IN THE AIR, a beautiful ballad with sweeping production and daydream-inducing lyrics that shine a light on the band’s much-loved talent for song writing.

While the new album echoes the strident, hook-heavy Britpop and Manchester influences of the band’s debut on tracks such as the explosive opening title-track and DO I NEED YOU NOW? it’s equally an album that demonstrates an organic evolution. THE END – written by guitarist Johnny Took – shows Kim Moyes’ influence with its dark electronic production and synths, while the psychedelic-tinged EMILY WHYTE – written by guitarist Matt Mason – erupts into an epic, blissed-out album closer.

More broadly, the most transformative element of the band’s sound comes in the shape of Tommy O’Dell’s vocals; the character and attitude of his voice now heightened with a fresh, soulful element. “Last time around, we were still working out what kind of band we wanted to be, and we still are,” admits Johnny. “We still have that jangly rock n roll aspect but it’s matured in other ways. It feels like a natural progression for the band.”
