After announcing it via hotline and business card last week, Diiv have shared more details of their new album. Produced by A. G. Cook, ZIRP! lands October 30 on Fantasy Recordings and includes lead single “The Fountain,” which you can listen to now.
“I became a bit obsessed with their live sound, and insisted on recording live drums before most of the songs were even finished,” Cook writes in a press statement about the collaboration. “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. After a few rounds of that, ZIRP! emerged as a concept, and a sort of utopian, dystopian mantra. For me it became a vehicle to push the band into new territory.”
Diiv’s last album, Frog in Boiling Water, was released in 2024. To celebrate the record’s release, the group will perform across the U.S. and Canada, including dates in Brooklyn, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. The tour will launch with a single show outside of North America, at Balaclava Fest in São Paulo. Scroll down to check out the full program.
