For Now by DMA's
For Now is an album by DMA's, released in 2018. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “In the Air”, on 1 list with a best position of #41.
For Now, the second album from Sydney's DMA's, came out on Infectious Music on 27 April 2018, two years after their debut Hills End. Tommy O'Dell sings, Matt Mason plays lead guitar and Johnny Took rhythm, and the trio sound bolder here: big, strummed guitar walls, choruses built for singing along in a sweaty room, and O'Dell's voice floating somewhere between swagger and heartbreak.
They squeezed seven singles out of it, from "Dawning" and "In the Air" to the title track, "Break Me", "Do I Need You Now?", "The End" and "Time & Money", and triple j's listeners kept voting them in across consecutive Hottest 100s. The industry came around too: the 2018 ARIA Awards nominated the record for Best Group, Best Rock Album and Best Independent Release, and the J Awards shortlisted it for Australian Album of the Year.
