DIIV have shared new single “Kid,” the song is a taste of their forthcoming album ZIRP!, available October 30th via Fantasy Recordings. “Kid” is accompanied with video directed by Jaxon Whittington and filmed by vocalist Zachary Cole Smith’s 4 year old son Roy and his friend Julian. The song is the follow up to previous single “The Fountain.” Diiv includes Zachary Cole Smith, Andrew Bailey, Colin Caulfield and Ben Newman.

DIIV will be performing at Balaclava Fest in Brazil on September 27th ahead of supporting Interpol on select dates across North America this October. DIIV will also perform with Basement on October 20th at Shrine Expo Hall.

Zirp! was Produced by A. G. Cook (100 Gecs, Caroline Polachek, Charli xcx) – a chief architect of our current post-category future – ZIRP!, 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.”
