The shoegaze quartet have unveiled more details of their album ‘ZIRP!’, which is due on October 30 via Fantasy Recordings. Pre-save/pre-order the album here.
Instead, Cook said he became “obsessed with their live sound”, and explained that he “insisted on recording live drums before most of the songs were even finished. We spent a lot of time recording intricate guitar parts with specific guitar pedals, and as little time as possible doing anything on a computer, at least by my standards.
DIIV will also tour the US later this year, with a few stops plotted for Europe.
They’re set to support Interpol and Basement on select dates, with their headline shows kicking off at The Meadows in Brooklyn on September 29.
They’re also set to play Los Angeles and San Francisco in October, before arriving in Europe for Pitchfork Music Festival Paris and London. They’ll also play a show at Belgium’s Sonic City Festival while across the pond.

We spoke to the band for an In Conversation interview, where they told us about the tough conditions of recording the album. “I think we went into it with these really big ambitions to try to make a different kind of album and really stretch and push ourselves to make something new,” bassist Colin Caulfield told us.
Frontman Zachary Cole Smith added: “Relationships take work and some vigilance. We left making ‘Deceiver’ saying, ‘Let’s do that again!’ And maybe we would have, but being in a band is tough. I think for a lot of people the music just shows up on their phone, and they’re, like, ‘Cool,’ and they’ll listen.
Elsewhere, DIIV’s Zachary Cole Smith has spoke to NME about the impact of LA’s wildfires.
