A whirlwind brought \u003cstrong\u003eDIIV\u003c\/strong\u003e here. On the heels of 2012’s \u003cstrong\u003eOshin\u003c\/strong\u003e, the group delivered the critical and fan favorite \u003cstrong\u003eIs the Is Are\u003c\/strong\u003e in 2016. Simultaneously, frontman Zachary Cole Smith faced down seemingly dormant demons, and the momentum stalled. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo years after embarking on a program of recovery, Smith has emerged with a clear head and renewed focus. For the first time, DIIV lived with songs on the road. During a 2018 tour with Deafheaven, they performed eight new compositions as the bulk of the set. The tunes progressed as the players did. By the time \u003cstrong\u003eDIIV\u003c\/strong\u003e entered 64 Sound to record with producer Sonny Diperri, the band felt a certain confidence. It’s evident on first single “Skin Game,” which gallops forth on a clean guitar riff before unfolding into a hypnotic hook offset by an off-kilter rhythm and hummable solo. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA trudging groove and wailing guitar punctuate a lulling apology on the magnetically melancholic “Taker.” Meanwhile, the ominous bass line and crawling beat of “Blankenship” devolve into schizophrenic string bends with the vitriolic lyrics. The seven-minute “Acheron” offers a dynamic denouement, flowing through a hulking beat guided under gusts of lyrical fretwork and a distorted heavy apotheosis. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_kX6-iolDy5WegM2dUWAXsAOG7LuukWlA0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" name=\"e5af269b-4841-4de4-ac45-824a310936d6\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DIIV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43236316774587,"sku":"","price":38.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/0341\/4971\/products\/DIIV-Deceiver-COVER.jpg?v=1660538412","url":"https:\/\/bizarromarket.mom\/products\/diiv-deceiver","provider":"Bizarro Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
