It it too late to crown “Aussie song of the year”? Maybe so, but we’ll tell ya what, Dick Diver’s brand-spanking newie is most definitely a high contender.

The fresh track from Melbourne’s crown jewel of jangle-pop sees the four-piece produce unquestionably one of the most carefree and euphoric sounds of your summer.
