Windwaker Premiere New Single & Lyric Video "dna" From Upcoming New Album "smile, you’re on camera."

Australian alt-metal band Windwaker have unveiled their new single “dna“, which arrived online this morning, streaming via YouTube and Spotify for you now below.

With their third studio album, “smile, you’re on camera.” now just a month away, due out October 23rd through Fearless, the band offered the following on the newly released song and video:

“‘dna‘ explores a deeply internal struggle with identity, self-worth, and the feeling of being trapped by one’s own nature. The song reflects on emotional instability and the pressure of living up to expectations, while battling impulses, ego, and the fear of never truly changing. There’s a recurring tension between wanting growth and feeling stuck in destructive patterns, as if these flaws are hardwired into their ‘DNA.’

Another key theme here which is explored over the album is authenticity. References to ‘doing it for the likes’ and people ‘switching sides’ highlights disillusionment with superficial validation and fake personas, while the protagonist in this song tries to strip away ego and confront their true self.”
