Australian band DICE releases new album I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View

Perth‑based indie rock quartet DICE has issued their sophomore album, I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View. The record, recorded at Hollywood’s East West Studios with producer Joe Chiccarelli, adds the new single “Echo” and features contributions from Jay Watson and G Flip. Compared with their debut, the band says the album moves toward a more expansive, blissful sound while retaining their core indie‑rock edge.

Critics note the album’s energetic production and lead singer Ben Hodge’s strong vocal performance, but some argue the material leans on familiar indie‑rock formulas and lacks major innovation. The release follows the band’s ARIA‑charting debut and a recent tour that sold out shows across the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom.
