DIIV - Is The Is Are
DIIV - Is The Is Are
This is a long album, and it takes a while to get going. But for those with the patience, I think there is a lot to enjoy here. Especially in the second half.
This is an hour of reverb-laced, dreamy, psychedelia slathered over simple song structures inspired by the classic sounds of indie rock and jangle pop. It’s mostly pretty mellow, but around track ten things start to get a bit heavier.
I expect the main criticism this record will get is that it’s a bit one note. But those people are really only paying attention to the surface elements of this music. These are strongly crafted songs.
