DMA’S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED THIRD ALBUM THE GLOW DEBUTS AT #2 IN AUSTRALIA, #4 IN THE UK & #1 IN SCOTLAND + UNPLUGGED & INTIMATE TOUR STARTS NEXT WEEK

I OH YOU are so stoked to announce that DMA’S brilliant third studio album THE GLOW (released globally on Friday 10 July) has debuted at #2 on the ARIA Album Chart, #4 on the UK and took out the #1 spot in Scotland. This huge accomplishment marks the highest chart positions to date for the band.

This fantastic result is a testament to the band’s unwavering vision to write an album that took their sound to a new level and to new ears, across the world. Recorded and mixed by multi-Grammy Award winning producer Stuart Price (The Killers, New Order, Madonna) at the historic Westlake Recording Studios in Hollywood, THE GLOW is a step up for the band in every sense. With two top #10 ARIA albums, 4 x ARIA-nominations, and multiple ARIA Platinum and ARIA Gold singles already under their belt, THE GLOW marks a leap forward for the band and establishes themselves as a household name both here and in the UK.

These outstanding chart positions come off the back of a phenomenal year for DMA’S, which saw the band play a sold-out show at London’s iconic 5,000 capacity O2 Academy Brixton back in March, which in a testament to the band’s ability to adapt to a new world and find fresh and exciting ways to engage with fans, they were able to share the record-breaking O2 Academy Brixton show via a digital stream on their Facebook and YouTube with approximately 50 thousand viewers tuning in. Watch ‘Silver (Live from O2 Academy Brixton)’ here.

DMA’S have garnered new fans from near and far recently, with their special isolation versions of ‘Lay Down’ and ‘The Glow’, their performance on the ANZAC Day special – Music From The Home Front where they covered the Crowded House classic ‘Better Be Home Soon’, taking part in the Victorian Government’s The State Of Music performing their hit single ‘The Glow’, gracing Australia’s television screens on Saturday 11th July with a DMA’S TV special on Channel 9, and creating a heart-warming fan video for their hugely loved song ‘Silver’ by compiling live footage shot and sent to them from their fans from around the globe.

Over the weekend, the band took part in the ABC’s new live music series The Sound (alongside the likes of Nick Cave, Hunters & Collectors and BENEE), where they performed their latest single ‘Criminals’.

To celebrate the release of THE GLOW, DMA’S announced an intimate run of stripped-back shows at Sydney’s Factory Theatre, which sold out in minutes. In reply to overwhelming fan requests to play in Brisbane, the Sydney trio made the decision to extend their ‘Unplugged & Intimate’ tour, and confirmed four concerts at The Tivoli in Brisbane on Saturday 29 August and Sunday 30 August, which as Sydney before them, sold out almost instantly.

These intimate shows, in line with updated regulations around live entertainment, will see the band play to limited capacity crowds, with the multiple shows giving more fans a chance to be some of the first in the world to hear their new material live for the very first time.

DMA’S are a true story of triumph, a band that continue to push the boundaries of their creative output, and the success of THE GLOW to date is a true testament to a band that are showing no sign of slowing down.
