DMA’s live in London (Alessandro Gianferrara for Live4ever)
DMA’s have shared some visuals for their Criminals single shortly after the release of its parent album The Glow.
The Aussies’ third studio record came out last Friday, July 10th, and received a, forgive us, glowing 7.5/10 review from Live4ever; “As well as being prepared for accusations of pandering to current trends, the band are also ready for the counter argument that real emotional insight is at a premium; they have that covered too,” it reads.
“The Glow itself is a reference to the constant feeling of needing to be somewhere better, while the typically elegiac Silver – essentially one long terrace-friendly chorus – is about keeping relationships anchored in a world of constant uncertainty and change.”
“At its root though this is as much about how for DMA’s things have stayed the same as much as they’ve changed: piano ballad Learning Alive could’ve been written at any time in the last few years, even risking a key change or two. There’s little option elsewhere but to sit back and admire Hello Girlfriend, with its barefaced Stone-Roses-meets-Beach-Boys melodies, while the sweetly wistful Appointment will be triggering bear/man-hugs at a crowded venue somewhere near you as soon as happiness, beer and smokes are all allowed back in the same place.”
