No homegrown band has been on a hot streak more searing than Sydney favourites DMA’s, having unveiled a string of well-received singles, music videos, acclaimed tour dates around the world, and some very prestigious music festival spots.

Now, the band have unveiled their latest single, ‘Lay Down’, which they premiered to the world via Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show earlier this week before taking it over to Stereogum, and it serves as the first taste of the band’s highly anticipated debut LP.

‘Lay Down’ was recorded and produced by guitarist Johnny Took and Dylan Adams in a cramped studio in Coogee over last summer and mixed by Spike Stent, best known for his work with superstar acts like Depeche Mode, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Massive Attack.

Speaking to Tone Deaf back in May, Took revealed that the band, who gained notoriety thanks to mega-singles like ‘Delete’ and ‘Laced’, are working hard on a debut album in their bedroom studio. The final product is sure to propel the three-piece to even greater heights.
