Altered Zones

Melbourne indie classicists Dick Diver have that casual swag that makes what they do sound so easy. That ease and affect translates well visually, too. Between the George Lucas circle fades and behind-the-scenes shots of a bakery, it's easy to mistake the band's ad hoc performance as purely fun and games-- even if it's tongue and cheek. That shrug-of-the-shoulder, almost blasé bent goes as far as the lyric: "I've seen that guy around/I see him all the time/I always thought he was your friend/you always thought he was mine." --Dale W. Eisinger, Altered Zones
