Melbourne Florida

Dick Diver managed to avoid the sophomore slump with their 2013 album "Calendar Days" (Chapter Music) & look to perfect a three-peat with their 3rd album "Melbourne, Florida", which hums with a strident assurance, buoyed by the benefit of the band's 4 talented songwriters whose singular voices sit comfortably beside each other in the albums 12 tracks. If Dick Diver weren't already leading the pack of new-school Australian pop (as their ranks include members of TOTAL CONTROL, UV RACE, LOWER PLENTY, & BOOMGATES) then "Melbourne, Florida" is sure to put them in the pole-position.
