Australian rock band DMA's have announced their upcoming self-titled album, set for release on August 7 via Wonderlick Entertainment/Sony Music Australia/RCA UK. Alongside the announcement, they've dropped a new single, 'Heatin' Park', which they describe as bursting with "feral energy".
The track is a nod to Manchester's iconic Heaton Park and features a rollicking Britpop-inspired arrangement. Lead guitarist Matt Mason explained: "'Heatin Park' started as an old forgotten demo banged into a new sound for us and that collision is what gives it its feral energy. The album is called DMA'S because that's exactly what it is and we're keen to bring it home and play for you all."
'Heatin' Park' follows the nostalgic lead single 'My Baby's Place', which marked the band's first entirely self-produced and recorded song. Reflecting on that track, the band shared: "'My Baby's Place' began with the verses, written around a back and forth between gratitude and destitution. I finished the choruses last year, at a time when a few chapters were closing, and it all clicked, so it felt right to record it ourselves in our studio in Glebe, Sydney."
