"DICE Unveils New Album: 'I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View'"
DICE has just announced the release of their highly anticipated second album, “I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View,” set to debut on July 31. This new album marks a notable shift in the band’s sound, moving away from the grit of their debut project, “Midnight Zoo,” and embracing a lighter, more euphoric vibe. With a total of ten tracks, the album is described as an anthem for self-reflection and liberation, allowing the band to soar to new heights creatively.
Accompanying the album announcement is their latest single, “Loose Change,” which serves as a reminder that taking risks can lead to worthwhile outcomes. The track was crafted from an initial voice note and honed at the prestigious EastWest Studios in Hollywood, under the expert guidance of Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli, known for his work with The Strokes and The White Stripes. “Loose Change” captures the raw energy that fans loved from their previous hits while pushing into an exciting new sonic territory.
The theme behind “Loose Change” resonates with the band’s journey, reflecting the importance of overcoming obstacles to achieve one’s goals. DICE expresses that the song conveys a motivational message about stepping out of one’s comfort zone. It encourages listeners to embrace the possibilities that lie ahead, reinforcing that personal success is often a matter of mindset and determination.
Since their emergence, DICE, comprised of Ben Hodge, Tom King, Regan Beazley, and Sam Barrett-Lennard, has swiftly transitioned from local favorites in Perth to a globally recognized act. Their debut album, “Midnight Zoo,” achieved ARIA-charting success, and they continue to maintain momentum with notable performances and airtime on Australia’s triple j radio station.
In addition to the new single, “Loose Change” provides listeners with a taste of the sophisticated soundscape developed in their forthcoming album. The band previously released another single, “COOLER,” which also garnered attention and praise. Fans can look forward to heartfelt lyrics and invigorating beats when the full album releases.
As DICE embarks on this next chapter, they remain committed to creating music that fosters genuine connections with their audience. The intersection of their artistry and the experiences expressed in their new material promises to resonate with current and future fans alike.
The single “Loose Change” is now available to stream on all major platforms, and the accompanying music video can be viewed on YouTube. With the album release on the horizon, DICE is poised to take audiences on a thrilling journey marked by growth, risk, and the joy of discovery. Keep an eye out for the album on July 31 and immerse yourself in the uplifting sounds of DICE.
