DIIV announces their new album ZIRP! will arrive on October 30 via Fantasy Recordings. Along with the news, the band are sharing the lead single “The Fountain.” DIIV will be performing at Balaclava Fest in Brazil on September 27th ahead of supporting Interpol on select dates across North America this October. The band will also perform with Basement on October 20th at Shrine Expo Hall.

ZIRP! was Produced by A. G. Cook (Caroline Polachek, Charli xcx). The album is named for the zero interest rate policies that drew us into a world of failed startups and turned us all into atomised “users,” expands on the themes of Frog In Boiling Water with a newfound lightness. Here, Palantir, societal breakdown and streaming’s endless hamster wheel are all fodder for rich.

When DIIV initially approached Cook, the producer says, “it was in the spirit of destroying & rebuilding their demos, Screamadelica-style, into a finished product, but that hybrid, half-remix approach felt completely wrong to me.” Instead, he became a professor of DIIV studies, attending the band’s shows and forming a unified theory of where the band needed to go next. “I became a bit obsessed with their live sound, and 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,” he says. “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.”
