Dick Diver - Calendar Days (Vinyl)
Second album for Melbourne quartet, following 2011’s New Start Again. Recorded with Mikey Young, this time at a Phillip Island beach house. Features saxophones, keyboards, pedal steel and piano throughout, as well as drum machine to start the record. Includes a songwriting contribution each from bassist Al Montfort (Total Control, UV Race, Lower Plenty) and drummer Stephanie Hughes (Boomgates) in addition to guitarist-songwriters Rupert Edwards and Al McKay, with shared vocals all over. Includes the singles ‘Alice’ and ‘Water Damage’. Calendar Days is the sound of a band growing up, and opening up. There’s a beguiling, inquisitive eccentricity that runs throughout, combined with a non-flag-wearing but still classic Australian-ness, which makes for something of a modern classic.
