TRAILER

DIIV: “As a band we’ve always been at our best in a live concert environment.
We care as much about the quality of our shows as we do about our albums.
Filming the Frog set felt like a way to make our live show more accessible to
everyone and an opportunity to further build out the world of the album. We
hope you enjoy what we made.”

NOW PLAYING! New Album By Brooklyn’s Shoegazers DIIV – Here’s ‘DECEIVER’…

Posted on by JL

6 October 2019

Band: DIIV (Brooklyn, New York)

Album: Deceiver

Released: 4 October 2019

Quote: The band’s singer/songwriter and mastermind Cole Smith says: “I’ve known everyone in the band for ten years plus separately and together as DIIV for at least the past five years. On ‘Deceiver’, I’m talking about working for the relationships in my life, repairing them, and accepting responsibility for the places I’ve failed them. I had to re-approach the band. It wasn’t restarting from a clean slate, but it was a new beginning. It took time—as it did with everybody else in my life—but we all grew together and learned how to communicate and collaborate.”

Sound: A absorbing collection of profound and electrical meditations. From melancholic reveries to fully charged flare-ups. A varied melodious palette with tons of guitar layers reminding me at times of legendary noiseniks My Bloody Valentine, and a fully charged emotional shoegaze intensity at its gripping best.
