At the beginning of the year, DIIV announced that they will release their first album since 2019, Frog in Boiling Water, at the end of May, so after years of patient waiting, the group's fans can now dive into new songs. Many of them are guaranteed to be on the setlist when DIIV play their biggest venue concert to date at Store VEGA this fall, enveloping the beautiful venue in crackling noise broadsides and honey-dripping melodies.

Formed in 2011, DIIV quickly became part of the bubbling indie scene of the time, attracting attention with their exquisite mix of ragged guitar broadsides and catchy hooks that sounded like the missing link between My Bloody Valentine, 70s krautrock and melodic 80s bands like The Smiths and The Sundays.

They were signed to the hip local label Captured Tracks (The Soft Moon, Wild Nothing, Mac Demarco), who released their debut Oshin in 2012, which instantly made DIIV one of the most talked about indie rock bands of the time. The album was named "Best New Album" by Pitchfork, and in Denmark it was rewarded with five sparkling stars by Soundvenue.

In 2016, they followed up their success with the cryptically titled Is the Is Are, which was praised by Paste Magazine, Exclaim and Rolling Stone, among others - and again earned five stars from Soundvenue's reviewer. The album was based on the over 150(!) new songs that lead singer and main songwriter Zachary Cole Smith had written since their debut while battling drug addiction.

DIIV's third album was released in 2019 in the form of Deceiver, where the band's shoegaze inspiration was in full bloom - to the delight of audiences and critics.In Denmark, Soundvenue once again awarded the album five stars, as did GAFFA under the headline "Brutal vulnerability".
