Diiv - Is The Is Are, Coming Fall 2015


Recommended Posts

That's encouraging. How were No Joy live? I bought their whole discography this year - love everything they have done, from the original psych-gaze to the newest which is a bit more poppy.

 

Awesome. They are really good live. The acoustic were not good at the venues so the vocals were a tad off, but nothing bad.

 

What really caught my attention was their bass player.

 

He has some really cool bass lines and plays bass like its a guitar. Very interesting for a shoegazy band.

Completely unrelated and yet still relevant, but why do the guys in DIIV dress so shabbily? Is it some sort of fashion statement?

This article was linked from the "not sure if homeless or in diiv" meme on diiv's Facebook:

Also, to me, artists who eschew fashion and consumerism seem less conformist, more authentic and more dedicated to their craft. (Lil B also comes to mind here, as does Zach Hill and even label mate Mac Demarco.) Diiv may also enjoy the increased 'slacker vibe' it gives them.
