DIIV have introduced their new album, ZIRP!, out Oct. 30 by way of Fantasy Recordings.
ZIRP! is produced by British innovator A.G. Prepare dinner (Caroline Polachek, Charli XCX) and takes its title from the zero rate of interest insurance policies blamed for a wave of startup failures and a tradition that diminished individuals to remoted “customers.”

“It was within the spirit of destroying and rebuilding their demos, Screamadelica-style, right into a completed product,” Prepare dinner says on working with DIIV. “However that hybrid, half-remix strategy felt fully incorrect to me. I grew to become a bit obsessive about their dwell sound, and insisted on recording dwell drums earlier than a lot of the songs have been even completed. We spent quite a lot of time recording intricate guitar components with particular guitar pedals, and as little time as potential doing something on a pc, no less than by my requirements.
“After just a few rounds of that, ZIRP! emerged as an idea, and a form of utopian, dystopian mantra. For me it grew to become a car to push the band into new territory.”
The document builds on the concepts explored in 2024’s Frog In Boiling Water. Previewing the LP is the opening observe and lead single, “The Fountain,” which blends the expansive, noisy guitar textures of DIIV’s earlier work with driving, rhythmic guitars.
