DIIV (US)



Inspired by a Nirvana-song, this Brooklyn based band started out as a bedroom recording formation. Their 2012 debut album Oshin was highly acclaimed for its fresh, dreamy blend of new wave, shoegaze and indiepop. The band, consisting of former band members from Beach Fossils and Smith Westerns, says to be inspired by Malian guitar and 80s krautrock bands Can and Faust. DIIV takes you on a melodramatic and melodic journey fuelled by a contemporary psychedelic sound.
