DMA'S have unveiled their latest single, "Hurracane", offering another glimpse into their forthcoming self-titled album and reminding fans exactly why the Sydney trio remain one of Australia's most dependable guitar bands.

Built around a soaring chorus, emotional lyricism and a striking mandolin line that threads throughout the track, "Hurracane" feels instantly familiar while still exploring new territory. It is classic DMA'S in spirit, but with fresh textures that help the song stand apart from previous releases.

Fans have responded enthusiastically since the song's arrival. "Great song. Good to see Liam in an official video as well," wrote one listener, while another simply declared it "another belter from the lads." Perhaps the most telling reaction came from a fan who joked: "One day, DMA'S will release a song that is not brilliant. But that day still has not come."

The prominent mandolin has also sparked discussion among long-time followers of the band. One fan noted that the instrument recalls the sound of Little Bastard, an Australian folk-indie outfit that featured future DMA'S members before the band was formed. For those familiar with that chapter of their musical history, "Hurracane" feels like a continuation of ideas that were first explored years ago.

There are echoes of arena-sized influences throughout the song. Some listeners have compared its emotional sweep and uplifting melodic structure to U2's "Every Breaking Wave", particularly in the way the track balances vulnerability with grandeur.

Lyrically, "Hurracane" revolves around the lingering impact of a relationship that refuses to fade. The repeated refrain, "You're crashing through my mind like a hurricane," captures the feeling of being unable to escape memories that continue to shape the present. The song's recurring motion mirrors its central theme, a detail highlighted by guitarist Matt Mason.

"'Hurracane' has a recurrent musical motion that's a nod to the song lyrically and we used the idea of a displacing storm to tell the story, leaning into a style that we hadn't recorded ourselves before," Mason explained.

The track follows previously released singles "My Baby's Place" and "Heatin Park", both of which enjoyed significant success, reaching number one on triple j's most-played list and accumulating nearly two million streams combined.

Recorded between the band's studio in Glebe, Sydney, and sessions in Los Angeles, the forthcoming self-titled album is being positioned as a landmark release for DMA'S. The record sees the group expanding their trademark anthemic sound while taking a more hands-on creative role. The band co-produced much of the album alongside Grammy-nominated producer Lach Bostock, with additional contributions from Jimi Somewhere and Styalz Fuego.

If "Hurracane" is any indication, DMA'S are entering this next chapter with confidence. The song delivers everything fans have come to expect: big melodies, heartfelt emotion and a chorus designed to be sung back at festival volume. Yet the addition of the mandolin and the band's willingness to experiment with new textures suggests there is still room for growth within their established formula.

With their self-titled album now available to pre-order and tickets for their February 2027 UK and Ireland tour set to go on sale on 12 June, DMA'S continue to build momentum. Judging by the reaction to "Hurracane", fans are more than ready for what comes next.
