is the is are - Austin Town Hall

Fresh DIIV Track

November 4, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

This tune’s all over the place, and judging by the response (and their huge show at Mohawk this past weekend) DIIV are still drawing popularity and excitement. Aside from the song, which I think fulfills my expectations from their set at Psych Fest last Spring, I’m stoked to hear that the band has 17 new songs to offer listeners. They had a solid first effort, but I felt it was a little bit short. This means fans will get twice the release when Is the Is Are hits the streets on February 5th of next year. Look for it to come via Captured Tracks, which is always reliable in my eyes.

Sweet! New DIIV Tune

DIIV

A few years ago, DIIV was all the rage on the Internet, but when their album came out, I’ll admit I wasn’t blown away…as much as people expected me to be. But, I had a lot of hope for the band going forward, especially after they put on an incredible set at Levitation Fest this past year. Lucky for us, their new single fulfills on the live sets promise. It holds onto the slightly jangling post rock atmosphere, while driving home a pop-centric vocal that’s perfectly fitting. The date of their confusingly titled Is The Is Are has yet to be announced, but rest assured, it’s coming soon via Captured Tracks.
