Ultra Dundee is the fifth studio album by Australian band Bad Dreems. It was announced on 10 December 2025, alongside its title track.[2] Ultra Dundee was released on 20 March 2026. The album will be their last before an "indefinite hiatus" following this release and upcoming tour across April and May.[5]

The album debuted at number 5 on the ARIA Chart, the band's highest charting album. Upon hearing this the band said "The last thing we won was the D-grade amateur footy flag, so this is a great honour. Thanks to all our amazing fans who bought an album and the team which helped us release this independently. Catch us on our victory lap around Oz before we hang up the boots indefinitely."[6]

Reception

ABC called it "a big, raw, guitar-driven record that leans into the band's long-running exploration of Australian identity, masculinity and myth."[5]

Al Newstead from Double J said on the album "Bad//Dreems lament our country's poor treatment of the environment and First Nations people. How a lack of leadership and empathy has allowed racism, bigotry, and ignorance to take up primary residence in the modern Australian psyche." Adding the album "cements their status as one of Australia's most criminally underrated bands."[7]

Darryl Sterdan from Tinnitist said "Ultra Dundee is a crystallisation and extension of the vision that began with their seminal debut Dogs At Bay and has continued over their subsequent releases."[8]
