Dick Diver is an Australian indie pop band that formed in Melbourne in 2008, known for a sound that encapsulates a jangle pop aesthetic with a reflective Australian storytelling style. The band took its name from a character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "Tender Is the Night," hinting at their literary bent and the introspective nature of their lyrics. The group consists of guitarists Rupert Edwards and Alistair McKay, bassist Al McKay, and drummer Steph Hughes, all of whom share vocal duties and songwriting credits, giving the band a diverse and multi-layered sonic palette.

Over the years, Dick Diver has refined their approach to blending wry, observant lyrics with a breezy, melodic contemplation of suburban life and landscapes. Their breakthrough came with the release of "New Start Again" in 2011, a debut that established them as a band to watch in the indie scene. The critically acclaimed follow-up, "Calendar Days," in 2013, and the subsequent "Melbourne, Florida" in 2015, saw the band experiment with broader sounds and more complex arrangements, without losing the understated charm and wit that endeared them to fans. Tracks like "Alice" and "New Name Blues" showcase their capacity for crafting engaging narratives, while "Arks Up" exhibits their ability to dabble in different moods and textures, ensuring that Dick Diver's music remains as refreshing and relatable as a cool breeze on a hot Melbourne day.
