DIIV's third album (and first since frontman Zachary Cole Smith got out of drug rehab) takes a darker turn with excellent results. "I just didn't want to hear anyone say the word 'beachy' anymore," said Smith.
Indebted to classic kraut, dreamy Creation-records psychedelia, and the primitive-crunch of late-80s Seattle, the band walk a divisive yet perfectly fused patch of classic-underground influence on their debut LP.
Recorded across legendary studios including Shangri-La in Malibu, Sound City in Van Nuys, and Ocean Way in Nashville, this debut album captures raw energy and unfiltered Southern rock swagger.
St. Paul based punk band released their first full length album in 1998. It was a hit within the punk community due to it's personal/political lyrics, sing-a-longs and hard hitting rhythm sections.
