The band explains, “If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“We understand the metaphor to be one about a slow, sick, and overwhelmingly banal collapse of society under end-stage capitalism, the brutal realities we’ve maybe come to accept as normal. That’s the boiling water and we are the frogs. The album is more or less a collection of snapshots from various angles of our modern condition which we think highlights what this collapse looks like and, more particularly, what it feels like.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?si=x4qn3de2HIeBjQGj\u0026amp;list=OLAK5uy_l3k4LWBccDbEFZJFZ7yua5f9ptEMrx2O8\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DIIV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47394751381691,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/0341\/4971\/files\/DIIV-BOILEDALIVELIVEATTERAGRAMBALLROOM-CS-01.jpg?v=1769187011","url":"https:\/\/bizarromarket.mom\/products\/diiv-boiled-alive-cassette","provider":"Bizarro Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
