DMA’S highly anticipated new album HOW MANY DREAMS? is out now. Across twelve tracks, the album weaves electronic dance elements seamlessly through the beloved foundations of guitar rock, punk and the lyricism of their highest charting album THE GLOW (2020) which peaked at #2 on the ARIA charts, #4 on the UK Official Albums Chart and #1 in Scotland.
An album noted for its explorative qualities and direct positivity, HOW MANY DREAMS? has been gripping fans old and new as the band shared teaser tracks ranging from the electrifying ‘I Don’t Need To Hide’, ‘Olympia’, ‘Fading Like A Picture’ and ‘Everybody’s Saying Thursday’s The Weekend’ to the more recent, high energy, heart-warming bliss of ‘Something We Are Overcoming’.
The singles from the album have so far seen strong support and playlisting at Virgin Radio, Radio X (winning a Record Of The Year nomination) Absolute, Absolute 20s, Triple J and Triple M, as well as spins at BBC Radio 1. The band appeared on Soccer AM (where they played I Don’t Need To Hide) and will perform live on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch.
A wide range of press have also supported the release including Classic Pop, Clash, Dork, Gigwise, Far Out, Hunger, The I Paper, NME, Record Collector, Rolling Stone and Uncut. The tracks have dominated streaming platforms worldwide with adds to the Spotify New Music Friday across the UK, Australia and New Zealand, Belgium, Netherlands, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam – plus a host of taste maker playlists across Apple, Amazon, Deezer, TIDAL and YouTube Music. During December, DMA’S were the most playlisted artist in Australia.
It has been a period of rediscovery for the band resulting in a record that is the grand sum of every part of who DMA’S are.
With the band now heading into release week, they will play a string of intimate and stripped back instore shows throughout the UK before embarking on a full UK tour which will see them play their biggest London headline show to date at Wembley OVO Arena. They return in the summer for festival slots at Truck, Y Not, Tramlines, Live At Leeds and more.
