Feb 26, 2016Hills End is so good that in 20 years the discussion about the hot new indie guitar band might well focus on how much they look and sound like DMA’s. It’s an outstanding debut.
-
Feb 26, 2016Sure, Hills End peaks fairly early, but the album plateaus in a way that’s inviting, comfortable, and better yet, quite addicting.

Aug 11, 2017While the tracks on Hill's End never stray too far from the sound evident in the first few notes of the beginning track, they never feel repetitive.
-
Aug 11, 2017Hill's End is an album of good songs with good hooks; who could ask for anymore?

Q MagazineFeb 26, 2016Beyond their all-guns-blazing single, Delete, there's little in the way of mystique on these 12 trim tracks, but there is much to savour. [Apr 2016, p.104]

Feb 26, 2016It’s hard to ignore the inconsistency and feeling that something’s lacking from its second half. That said, the rough-around-the-edges charm and guitar-packed indie give DMA’s a great starting point on this album.
