'THE GLOW' finds DMA'S fulfilling their world class potential with a collection of songs that are destined for arenas. From their emotive heart to their towering, anthemic hooks, the core traits that have earned the band a growing global following are all in place. But with the help of Price, DMA'S have elevated both sides of their sonic spectrum to new heights.
It's a mission statement that the trio immediately encapsulate within the opening two tracks. A swaggering mash-up of Screamadelica-era attitude, big beat dynamics and modern alt-pop flair, 'Never Before' immediately sets the tone. The title track then keeps that energy firing, a rapid-rush of melodic energy, joyous optimism and a new-found confidence in Tommy O'Dell's vocals. As suggested by the recent single 'Silver' DMA'S are expanding the scale of their sound. 'Criminals' introduces the biggest contrast on the record, its punchy, groove-focused hook taking flight from its restrained verses. The Lennon-esque intro to 'Learning Alive' soon turns itself into something unexpected, pulling on the heart-strings and scaling up the drama with a stirring string section. And yet DMA'S save the biggest surprise for last. 'Cobracaine' is a celebration of everything the band can be. It's a maximalist melting pot of sounds: an escalating wall of guitars the foundation for a tense, almost trancelike beat with vocals filtered through harmonies and vocoders. And as it hurtles to its mesmerising conclusion, one thing is certain: this is the most fully realised of the band's three albums to date. Full track listing for 'THE GLOW' can be seen below.
The band today also release a new single from the record. 'Life Is A Game Of Changing' is an anthemic and euphoric mix of electronica, melodic guitars, pounding drums and O'Dell's melancholic vocals and was premiered last night by Radio 1's Jack Saunders. The video which has also gone online today was directed by Bill Bleakley and shot in Bangkok & Pattaya, Thailand.
DMA'S shared the first taster from 'THE GLOW' with the single 'Silver' at the end of 2019 which was received fantastically from fans & media alike and is still playlisted at UK radio 3 months after release.
'THE GLOW' will be available to purchase in heavy weight vinyl as well as a limited edition heavyweight tri colour vinyl which will be available through HMV and independent record stores. There will also be exclusive merchandise bundles with signed prints plus limited edition heavyweight transparent green vinyl, cassettes and highly limited signed test pressings if purchased through the band's store; https://dmas.lnk.to/storePR
