DIIV are among the biggest new entries on today's community New Alternative 40 as excitement builds around newly announced album ZIRP!.
Due 30 October through Fantasy Recordings, the eleven-track record is introduced by 'The Fountain' and represents the band's next full-length chapter after several years of expanding shoegaze into increasingly heavy territory.
ZIRP! was made with producer A. G. Cook, an unexpected collaboration that immediately raises questions about where DIIV might take their sound. Tour activity later in the year includes dates around the Americas and shows connected with Interpol.
