DMA’S share new single ‘Fading Like A Picture’ and announce London venue upgrade
How Many Dreams?
DMA’S today share more new music from their highly-anticipated fourth album ‘How Many Dreams?’, with the release of new single ‘Fading Like A Picture’ with an accompanying video shot by award-winning filmmakers DIVISON.
How Many Dreams? for release on 31st March 2023 via I OH YOU. Pre-order the album here.
Recent new cuts from the album: ‘I Don’t Need To Hide’, ‘Olympia’ and ‘Everybody’s Saying Thursday’s The Weekend’, the latter of which is nominated for Radio X’s Record Of The Year 2022 – have made clear the band’s intentions to take down barriers, entangle the broad palette of their collective influences, and push to write their most sprawling and ambitious album to date. It has been a period of re-discovery for the band resulting in a record that is the grand sum of every part of who DMA’S are, as guitarist Johnny Took comments:
“Our palette for this album was a lot broader because we’ve learned so much since our debut and we’ve listened to so much more music between then and now, which has shaped us. It felt like a first outing all over again. The excitement was the same.”
Like previous track ‘Olympia’, ‘Fading Like A Picture’ is built around another iconic Matt Mason guitar riff.
Took continues:
“Tommy wrote the majority of this song to an obscure demo I made during lockdown. When we all came together to demo it, Mason added one of my favourite guitar riffs on the new album, and we used the middle-eight from another demo as the chorus. A true DMA’S collaboration.”
Having just last weekend opened for Arctic Monkeys at their huge Sydney Domain show, DMA’S are also announcing that their upcoming London show has moved venues to OVO Arena Wembley. It will be staying on the same date, Friday 21st April.
All tickets remain valid for the new venue and, due to increased venue capacity, extra tickets have been released and will go on sale from noon on Wednesday 18 January.
Please contact your point of purchase for further info.
“We couldn’t be more excited to play songs that span our 4 albums and 2 EPs for you all at this iconic London venue. There is no better way to launch our new album ‘How Many Dreams?’ – Come and be a part of this special moment with us!
Love DMA’S xxx”
Full schedule below. Tickets are available here.
DMA’S new material arrives as their first since last year’s celebrated EP I Love You Unconditionally, Sure Am Going To Miss You, which in turn followed the band’s highest charting album to date, 2020’s THE GLOW (UK Official Albums Chart #4, Scotland #2 and ARIA #2).
The band’s latest singles have seen strong support and playlisting at Absolute, Absolute 20s, Nova, Radio X, Triple J, Triple M and Virgin Radio,plus spins at BBC Radio 1, and have garnered glowing press coverage from Clash, Dork, Far Out, Gigwise, Hunger, The i Paper and Soccer AM (where they performed ‘I Don’t Need To Hide’ live). The new music has also been dominating streaming platforms worldwide, with adds to Spotify’s New Music Friday across UK, Australia & New Zealand, Belgium, Netherlands, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – plus a slew of tastemaker playlists across Apple, Amazon, Deezer, TIDAL, Soundcloud and YouTube Music. As of mid-December, DMA’S were the most playlisted artist in Australia.
As the band sit on the cusp of releasing their new album How Many Dreams?, DMA’S have found an iconic, mythical status among their fanbase – 65,000 ticket sales on their last UK tour alone shows the open-armed response they elicit on international shores. Their world is one of acceptance, freedom of expression, collective high, and each twist and turn in their journey to this point has led them to what will be a landmark album release for the band. The album’s opening offerings ‘I Don’t Need To Hide’ and ‘Everybody’s Saying Thursday’s The Weekend’ represent the comfort in being embraced but more than that, they exemplify the biggest talent that DMA’S possess: the ability to distil the wrenches of their personal stories into anthemic universal experiences.
