Following the band’s stealth announcement via a hotline number serviced to fans by mail last week, DIIV officially announces their new album ZIRP! due October 30th via Fantasy Recordings. Alongside the announcement of ZIRP!, DIIV shares the lead single “The Fountain.”
On their fifth album ZIRP!, DIIV emphatically and ecstatically embrace the underground pedigree and the pop instinct that have anchored the band like magnetic poles for the better part of their career—smashing them together in pursuit of a sound that pre-empts any notion that Zachary Cole Smith, Andrew Bailey, Colin Caulfield and Ben Newman have ever been playing between worlds. Put more simply, on ZIRP! DIIV answer the simple questions that so many bands can’t: What would it mean to grow up? And glow up, too?
Produced by British pop wizard A. G. Cook (Caroline Polachek, Charli XCX) – a chief architect of our current post-category future – ZIRP!, named for the zero interest rate policies that drew us into a world of failed startups and turned us all into atomised “users,” expands on the themes of Frog In Boiling Water with a newfound lightness.
ZIRP!
