Today, Perth’s DICE share their new album I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View, produced by 11-time GRAMMY-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, The White Stripes) with additional production from Jay Watson (POND, Tame Impala), and recorded live at East West Studios in Hollywood. DICE also share a new video for “ECHO,” and will embark on a North American tour this fall, dates below. Listen to I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View here.

DICE say, “I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View is all about finding liberation, releasing yourself from your past and running towards who you want to be as fast as you can. It’s about chasing something bigger than yourself, only to realize that perspective comes with its own weight. These tracks live somewhere between hope, collapse and excitement of the unknown —they’re loud, vulnerable, and unapologetically DICE.

They continue, “We wanted to make an album that doesn’t offer easy answers, but instead finds beauty in the climb, even when the view isn’t what you expected. We weren’t trying to force anything… we just followed what felt right and real. It’s definitely the most personal and freeing project we’ve made and hopefully people can find a bit of themselves in it.”

Across I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View, DICE offer a satisfying spread to appease your nostalgia for 2010s indie rock and peak 1D fandom alike; stadium-ready hooks and DIY/garage riffs. “COOLER” (premiered on triple j) acts as a cornerstone of their evolution and sophistication of their sound, while  “Loose Change” is a euphoric reminder that taking the leap is always worth the view. On tracks like “Echo” and “Daydream,” they deliberately stripped back the bells and whistles, eschewing keyboards to capture the kinetic spark of four people in a room.  “Call Me For A Good Time,” on the other hand, is a moody, late-night indie anthem for fans of The Strokes, Foals, and Phoenix with LA-in-the-80s synth layers courtesy of multi-instrumentalist Jay Watson (POND, Tame Impala). It’s the atmospheric soundtrack to the blurred lines of an afterparty — capturing the exact moment where desire borders on addiction.

Watch “ECHO” here.

For this album, DICE pivoted away from the grit of their debut album, Midnight Zoo, expanded their sonic palette with 2025’s WINGS EP, and now move toward a more expansive, blissful, lighter, euphoric world.The result is a 10-track album that is a windows down anthem for radical self-reflection and liberation, capturing a band finally flying at their own altitude.

DICE has transformed from local indie-rock darlings into a high-velocity global export. Following the critical acclaim of their debut, the band spent 2025 cementing their status as a premier live act, turning the pressures of early adulthood into bright, liberating anthems for sold-out crowds in London, New York, Toronto, Amsterdam, and Sydney. Having maintained a position on triple j’s Most Played Artists list for three consecutive years, DICE continues to build momentum with an unwavering “life’s too short” philosophy.

Comprising of Ben Hodge, Tom King, Regan Beazley, and Sam Barrett-Lennard, the Perth-based four-piece makes music for authentic connection; for movement, for feeling, and for being present. These are songs that push you to run outside and be a kid again, to fall in love, dance in your kitchen, take a spontaneous trip, or lie in the grass doing nothing at all.

With I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View, DICE step into their most ambitious era yet — delivering a euphoric soundtrack for moments you’ll feel nostalgic for before they’ve even happened.
