How Many Dreams? by DMA's

How Many Dreams?, the fourth album from Sydney trio DMA's, arrived on 31 March 2023, and by their standards it was a long time coming. Singer Tommy O'Dell and guitarists Matt Mason and Johnny Took sifted through more than 70 demos, some written through lockdown and some kicking around for years, and cut the record in the gaps between restrictions. Where earlier albums had come together in a couple of weeks in the studio, Took admitted this one was more of a slog, and more rewarding for it.

He also said their palette had widened, and you can hear it: the big-hearted guitar anthems are still here, but "Everybody's Saying Thursday's the Weekend" struts in on a looser, dancier pulse. It became the band's fourth top-10 album in Australia and their second straight top five in the UK, and it earned ARIA nominations for Album of the Year, Best Group and Best Rock Album.
