Dmas - The Glow - [Vinyl]

�The Glow� finds DMA�S fulfilling their world class potential with a collection of songs that are destined for arenas. From their emotive heart to their towering, anthemic hooks, the core traits that have earned the band a growing global following are all in place. But with the help of producer Stuart Price (The Killers, New Order, Madonna) DMA�S have elevated both sides of their sonic spectrum to new heights.It�s a mission statement that the trio immediately encapsulate within the opening two tracks. A swaggering mash-up of Screamadelica-era attitude, big beat dynamics and modern alt-pop flair, �Never Before� immediately sets the tone. The title track then keeps that energy firing, a rapid-rush of melodic energy, joyous optimism and a new-found confidence in Tommy O�Dell�s vocals. As suggested by the recent single �Silver�, DMA�S are expanding the scale of their sound. �Life Is A Game Of Changing� is an anthemic and euphoric mix of electronica, melodic guitars, pounding drums and O�Dell�s melancholic vocals and then �Criminals� introduces the biggest contrast on the record, its punchy, groove-focused hook taking flight from its restrained verses. The Lennon-esque intro to �Learning Alive� soon turns itself into something unexpected, pulling on the heart-strings and scaling up the drama with a stirring string section. And yet DMA�S save the biggest surprise for last. �Cobracaine� is a celebration of everything the band can be. It�s a maximalist melting pot of sounds: an escalating wall of guitars - the foundation for a tense, almost trancelike beat with vocals filtered through harmonies and vocoders. And as it hurtles to its mesmerising conclusion, one thing is certain: this is the most fully realised of the band�s three albums to date.
