DMA's - 'I Don't Need To Hide'
Australian rockers DMA’s have unveiled their latest cut ‘I Don’t Need To Hide’ alongside the announcement of a string of UK tour dates in late October. Made up of Tommy O’Dell, Johnny Took and Matt Mason, the trio have found themselves adopted as a ‘Manchester’ band despite hailing from half-way across the world.
Their unique blends of charged guitar lines and poetic lyricism make for intricately produced cuts that has stapled them as an indie household name since the release of their debut record Hill’s End in 2016.
“There’s a confidence you obtain when you find someone who loves you for all your faults, quirks and obscurities,” Took notes on the track, “They make you feel like you don’t need to hide anything from anyone anymore.”
Following a personal narrative of acceptance and the freedom of expression, the cut features delicate synth undertones layered with O’Dells lush vocals in a delve into self-introspection. “Thinking 'bout a better way, love / So I don't need to hide” O’Dell croons atop a kaleidoscope of bass and percussion in a euphoric and experimental addition to the band’s colourful discography.
With this latest release, we can only hope that future ones are imminent.
