DIIV will release new album ‘ZIRP!’ The band spearheaded a new wave of shoegaze and dream pop with their early releases, before pivoting into something darker, deeper, and noisier. Merging this with their barbed shoegaze sound, A. G. Cook was initially approached “in the spirit of destroying & rebuilding their demos, Screamadelica-style, into a finished product, but that hybrid, half-remix approach felt completely wrong to me.” “I became a bit obsessed with their live sound, and insisted on recording live drums before most of the songs were even finished. New single ‘The Fountain’ is mesmerising – instantly recognisable as DIIV, it nonetheless pulls their sound into arenas of elasticity.
