DICE – I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View
DICE’s second album, ‘I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View’, is presented as an ambitious but natural progression from the Perth quartet’s garage-rock beginnings. The review argues that its brighter synths and more polished production broaden the band’s sound without losing the energy and emotional directness that made their earlier work compelling.
Recorded at Los Angeles’ EastWest Studios with 11-time Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli, the album follows ‘Midnight Zoo’ and the ‘Wings’ EP as DICE’s profile expands internationally. Standout tracks include ‘Loose Change’, reworked with G Flip; ‘Cooler’, featuring Jay Watson; and the reflective but anthemic ‘Footprints’, ‘Echo’ and ‘Daydream’, which explore risk, relationships, freedom and dissatisfaction.
- DICE’s second album expands their sound while retaining their restless indie-rock energy.
- Polished Los Angeles production supports songs about connection, freedom and emotional uncertainty.
- Collaborations with G Flip and Jay Watson add to the record’s refined scale.
