DZ Deathrays have announced their seventh studio album, Easing Out Of Control. The new LP is set for release on Friday, January 16th, 2026 via the band’s own imprint, DZ Worldwide. As part of the album’s rollout, the alternative rock trio have announced a six-date Australian tour and shared a new single entitled ‘Real Love’. Details of both can be found below.
‘Real Love’ is the fourth single to be lifted from Easing Out Of Control, with the three previous being released prior to the album’s official announcement: ‘First Night Fever’ in October 2025, ‘Like No Other’ in February and ‘Sideways’ this past June. In a press statement, lead vocalist and guitarist Shane Parsons described ‘Real Love’ as “a challenge” due to its significant musical departure from the band’s usual rock-oriented sound. “I wanted it to feel heartfelt, but still off-the-cuff and casual — like it just spilled out,” said Parson. “It’s definitely a different moment for us, but I think it opens the door for our sound to go anywhere.” A music video has also been shared, directed by Rhys Bennett.
DZ Deathrays – ‘Real Love’
Easing Out Of Control was recorded with producer Nathan Sheehy, as well as with touring bassist Luke Henery – formerly of Violent Soho, and a bandmate of drummer Simon Ridley in side project Total Pace. The album was completed at the band’s home studios, with the band split between Sydney (Parsons and guitarist Lachlan Ewbank) and Brisbane (Ridley and Henery).
The band’s last studio album, R.I.F.F. (“remember, it’s for fun”) was released in June of 2023. It debuted at number eight on the ARIA Albums Chart, marking their third album to reach the top ten overall. The album was flanked by the singles ‘King B’, ‘Paranoid’ and ‘Tuff Luck’. It was nominated for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album at that year’s ARIAs, but ultimately lost to Parkway Drive.
