Returning to Australia with their brilliant new album ZIRP!

DIIV return to Australia with their brilliant new album ZIRP!, to answer the simple questions that so many bands can’t: What would it mean to grow up? And glow up, too?

For as long as they’ve been making music, DIIV have been victims of a world without the vocabulary to describe their willingness to braid the harshness of genres like shoegaze (on 2024’s Frog In Boiling Water) and grunge (2019’s Deceiver) with mellifluous and memorable pop melody.

With ZIRP! DIIV lock in on a name for the universe they’ve been chasing for all these years, and a sound that represents the apotheosis of that universe. As DIIV’s Cole Smith told the BBC, the new music "feels like a bridge between past DIIV and future DIIV".

Produced by British pop wizard A. G. Cook (Caroline Polachek, Charli XCX), ZIRP! 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, sparkling pop songs and DIIV's punchiest, most memorable melodies to date.
