There are those rare bands, that once they invite you into their sonic world, there's just no turning back. WA breakout band DICE are that band...
Ben Hodge, Tom King, Regan Beazley and Sam Barrett-Lennard invite us into the DICE atmosphere with their debut album 'Midnight Zoo', and it's a world we never want to leave.
Following the critical acclaim of their 2021 debut single and a breakout 2023 that included sold-out tours, international radio play, and a coveted spot on triple j's Hottest 100, the highly anticipated debut record will see DICE shed the carefree veneer of their earlier work for a more introspective, multifaceted sound. Midnight Zoo isn't just an album; it's a sonic odyssey mirroring their whirlwind year of creation. Unafraid to dive into more complex themes, Midnight Zoo promises a genre-bending journey from dancefloor to dawn. “We find our love for music through its authenticity. There’s a certain beauty to creating music because it is a culmination of your own emotions, experiences and personality. ‘Midnight Zoo’ is a window into what our lives have been like and the memories we’ve made during producing the record.
Written, recorded and produced in their hometown of Perth at Tone City Records, the debut album is an ode to their home as a band and their roots. “The ‘Midnight Zoo’ is the name we gave to Tone City Studios, the location of our creation. It was the place we all went to get away from everything, when we felt sad, when we had a fight, but it was also where our creativity was at its strongest. Termed 'Midnight Zoo' because of its long nights, wild energy and full moon recordings, this title just fits like a glove with both the tracks and its creation” DICE say of the forthcoming LP. “It's also always been a joke that the studio is like a zoo and when it turns to night, that's when the magic happens”.
