How Many Dreams? is the fourth studio album by Australian indie rock band DMA's, released on 31 March 2023. It was announced on 19 October 2022, alongside the release of "Everybody's Saying Thursday's the Weekend".[2]
The band describe it the album as "a labour of love", having worked through over 70 demos and recording between lockdown restrictions. Tommy O'Dell said "We spent a long time through lockdown writing a bunch of tunes and also tunes that have been built up over the band's career. I feel like out of all the albums we've done, for this one, it's probably the best selection of songs we've had to choose from".[2]
In January 2023, Johnny Took said, "Our palette for How Many Dreams? album was a lot broader because we've learned so much since our debut. We've listened to so much more music between then and now, which has shaped us. It felt like a first outing all over again."[4]
In March 2023 Took told Rolling Stone "Other records we've pretty much gone into the studio and two weeks later there's been an album that's come out of it, but this wasn't the case with this one – it was a little more tedious but a lot more rewarding as well."[7]
At the 2023 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Album of the Year, Best Group and Best Rock Album.[8]
At the AIR Awards of 2024, I OH YOU and Mushroom Group were nominated for Independent Marketing Team of the Year and Independent Publicity Team of the Year. Konstantin Kersting was nominated for Independent Producer of the Year for his work.[9]
