Popis - CALENDAR DAYS:
Previously known for their scratchy, dueling guitars and
laconic delivery, Dick Diver throw a few curveballs on 'Calendar Days'. The first sound you hear on the record is the tick of a drum machine, and there are keyboards, saxophones, pedal steel and piano throughout. Its also a much more collaborative affair than its predecessor. The first album was primarily written by guitarists Ru Edwards and Al McKay, with a contribution each from bassist Al Montfort (Total Control, UV Race, Lower Plenty) and drummer Stephanie Hughes (Boomgates).
But the vibe on 'Calendar Days' is engagingly communal. The
two Als trade verses on punchy first single 'Alice', while Steph sings most of the Ru-penned title track and shares vocal duties on expansive second single 'Water Damage'. Al Mc and Ru square off on Lime Green Shirt, while Al Mc and Steph share a
resigned duet on one-take ballad 'Two Year Lease'. '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.
