Dick Diver – Melbourne, Florida LP

Melbourne, Australia’s Dick Diver will soon be back with a new album, Melbourne, Florida, which will be out in March via Trouble in Mind/Chapter Music. It’ll be their first album to be released in the U.S. Like 2013’s Calendar Days, the new one was recorded by Mikey Young of Total Control (which DD’s bassist, Al Montfort, is also in). While there is still jangly guitar pop a la the Go-Betweens on the new album, Dick Diver explore new territory and instrumentation here. It’s a more ambitious record, but keeps great songwriting at it’s core.
