Dice - I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View - WORLD EXCLUSIVE SPLATTER Vinyl LP
RELEASED JULY 31, 2026.
Boorloo/Perth's DICE return with their sophomore album, I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View. Stepping away from the raw grit of their debut, the band decamped to Hollywood's legendary East West Studios to collaborate with producer Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, The Shins).
The result is a mature recalibration of their sonic DNA — an expansive, blissful world where punchy synths and abstract layering meet the kinetic energy of early fan-favourites like Double Espresso. It is a windows-down anthem for radical self-reflection and liberation, capturing a band finally flying at their own altitude.
It's the next chapter in a remarkable run.
Since their ARIA-charting debut Midnight Zoo in 2024, Ben Hodge, Tom King, Regan Beazley and Sam Barrett-Lennard spent 2025 conquering the world's most iconic stages — from sold-out rooms in London and Amsterdam to sweat-drenched shows in New York, Toronto and Denver. Rolling Stone Australia tracked the rise as "a step-up… creatively and as songwriters," while triple j tastemaker Dave Ruby Howe pegged the four-piece for their "big, free-wheeling rock vibes."
Lead single COOLER — co-written and recorded with Chiccarelli, with shimmering keys from Jay Watson (POND, Tame Impala, GUM) — landed with Rockshot Magazine calling it "euphoric" and The Rockpit describing the new direction as "blissful and expansive… raw garage-rock energy with a lighter, more refined pop-rock sensibility."
Pressed in 'Mountain View' Vinyl, and limited to only 200 copies with our signature, numbered obi strip. Pre-order the limited edition vinyl now. Only on Impressed.

No Cigar are the best rock band you've yet to hear of.
The Aotearoa five-piece return with their third album Under the Surface, their most layered, groove-wired, and emotionally charged album yet. And thanks to our friends at Holiday over at Auckland, we've got an Australian exclusive vinyl, limited to just 100 copies.
Formed in 2019, NO CIGAR has carved out a loyal international following with their genre-blurring sound. Their second album The Great Escape spent over 74 weeks in the NZ Top 20, while the standout single “Concubine” landed at #10 in Rock FM’s 2024 listener-voted countdown.
Born from quiet nights in rural France and sweaty headline shows across Europe, Under the Surface dives deeper than any NO CIGAR release to date. It’s the sound of a band at full creative tilt: pushing their indie-surf roots into moodier terrain, without losing the funk-strut heartbeat that’s earned them a global cult following.
Led by the debut single Chantilly, written in a French forest while after watching the Rugby World Cup final, the album flickers between high-octane bounce and soft-focus introspection. Problem keeps things hushed and deliberate; Clean offers up a raw, gritted-teeth version of their signature sound. The result is a record that feels lived-in, expansive, and pulsing with late-night honesty.
Following their sold-out 2025 UK/EU tour, Under the Surface cements NO CIGAR’s place as one of New Zealand’s most magnetic musical exports. We were lucky enough to witness the tour while we were in Europe and we were completely blown away. We'll be down the front when they next hit Sydney this October...
Pressed to clear with clear with blue marble vinyl with our signature individually numbered obi strips. Lmited to 100 copies only.
