For a band who got their start playing raucous house parties in Brisbane, DZ Deathrays make time for a noteworthy amount of soul-searching on their seventh album. The most head-turning example is “Real Love,” a groggy piano ballad that singer/guitarist Shane Parsons envisioned as a letter to both his young son and his own future self. It’s a dramatic departure from DZ Deathrays’ usual riff-driven attack, but there are still plenty of textured effects and engaging guitar work laced through it. Parsons is similarly subdued on the jangly “Ordinary Life” and the slow-moving closer “Warped,” and the album repeatedly finds him taking stock of his life both inside and outside of the band. Thankfully, the trio knows how to fold those anxieties into whiplashing anthems that are as catchy as can be. Observe “Pissing in the Breeze,” an upbeat rocker riddled with electronics and inspired by the failure to act on climate change. Recounting the feeling of giddy abandon that often marks the start of a tour or holiday, “First Night Fever” packs a big, sticky chorus and a fun junkyard quality to its programmed elements. Easing Out of Control was originally conceived as two separate EPs, which explains the dichotomy between moods, but the two sides fit together surprisingly well.
