Easing Out Of Control

Easing Out of Control finds the trio continuing to blur the lines between DZ Deathray’s blistering rock origins and more nuanced, exploratory songwriting. Originally conceived as two separate EPs, the record organically took shape as a concise, dynamic album, one that bounces between the romanticising of the past, the reckoning of the present, with a forward-looking desire to leave something meaningful behind.

Easing Out of Control was recorded over two sessions, featuring a guest appearance from Violent Soho’s Luke Henery on bass, and finished across the band’s home studios. It’s a record that pushes DZ Deathrays into new territory, while still carrying the DNA of the chaos and catharsis they’re known for.

The album follows 2023’s full-length R.I.F.F. and continues the band’s decade-long trajectory as one of Australia’s most vital rock exports. From their breakout debut Bloodstreams to the ambitious Positive Rising concept albums, DZ Deathrays have proven themselves endlessly adaptable - headlining stages from The Tivoli to The Enmore, supporting the Foo Fighters, and earning multiple spots in triple j’s Hottest 100 along the way.
