DIIV’s fourth studio album, Frog In Boiling Water, has arrived.
Spanning 10 songs, Frog In Boiling Water sees DIIV employ their blend of dreamy post-rock to tackle the topic of society’s collapse under late-stage capitalism. Its title — taken from Daniel Quinn’s novel The Story of B — serves as a metaphor to the “brutal realities we’ve maybe come to accept as normal,” according to the band.
“The album is more or less a collection of snapshots from various angles of our modern condition which we think highlights what this collapse looks like and, more particularly, what it feels like,” the band continued. Indeed, songs like the the title track resonant with lyrics like “Wasted all the commons/ A looted golden calf/ Ivory towers and ivory crosses/ My livelihood is rotting in your hand, man.”

Up next, in support of the release, DIIV will hit the road for their 2024 North American tour, kicking off in Santa Cruz, California, on June 6th. After that, they’ll perform in cities like Seattle, Austin, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, and more. Grab tickets here.
