Go Listen: DIIV



For fans of: Beach Fossils, Tame Impala, Deerhunter

DIIV (read: dive) (formerly Dive) (kinda weird, huh) is a surf-rock side project founded by Beach Fossils' Zachary Cole Smith in 2011. Having released 3 seven inches, last June they released a jaw-breaking, Nirvana-driven album 'Oshin'. 'Oshin' consists of 13 loud, shoegazing tracks. 'Doused', 'Sometime', and 'How Long Have You Known?' are three of my favorite tracks in this album.

If you're a fan of Beach Fossils, liking DIIV can't be hard. Some of their songs has their own kind of psychedelic atmosphere, constructed with hypnotizing reverbs, bashing drums, and Smith's floating vocals in repetitive lyrics. Crazy solos are often found in their work, such as 'Human'.
