it may just be a raw demo, but it already sounds amazing guys. i know that bass is pretty heavy especially compared to how it sounded on Oshin and is probably going to get toned down a lot, but i seriously think it's the strongest part of the song. listened to this like 20 times today, no joke
@@boywonders I feel what you are saying, but I also like the vulnerable vibe from the studio version: like the main thing is the music and the voice is there left alone. I don't know if it makes sense, but... Yeah that's it. :)
The only way to be quiet is to be quick A slow death rite like an innocent fight Left me choked and white in a patch of light Feeling like a wick wax drowned and bright Burned skin like a string black ashes slight I know I gotta kick but I can't get sick I'll hold you here tight, keep you overnight And it gets too bright, and your body's a brick Keep outta sight while my watch just ticks I'm trying to keep quiet but I can't move quick Drowning in air, light, floating up in flight Then it gets too bright, and your body's a brick You fall I forced myself to be quiet just to be quick Lead a slow death rite like an innocent fight Left me choked and white in a patch of light Feeling like a wick wax drowned and bright Burned skin like a string black ashes slight I know I gotta kick but I can't get sick I'll hold you here tight, keep you overnight And it gets too bright, and your body's a brick But now I'm fucked to die in a world of shit I'm trying to keep quiet but I can't move quick Wings matted with death spilled oil slick Then it gets too bright, and your body's a brick And you fall
you guys are really good at using effects, especially red shirt mane. great job making a huge texture/mood with only two guitars. not usually into this genre but youre good at your instruments so thats all that matters

I can't wait for the new album
Cant wait for the studio version...very happy to see where this band is headed, but they deserve a break and some relaxation as well...they're humans too
Cole, this is excellent! Love the swirling delay heading into the end of the song. Just curious, are you going to be doing the same type of recording for the drums you did on Oshin with this new release or more of a live recording sound? I feel like the soft sounding drums don't completely do the songs justice as far as the raw energy of how you sound in person. Just my opinion, digg it either way, and can't wait to hear more.
how about people make music about whatever they want. whatever they find most relevant or even the most irrelevant. sometimes the best songs are not about anything. i'd like to think musicians that make music solely because they want to and not for any reason in specific make music that is much more sincere.
oh and i was anxiously awaiting the release of oshin and i bought the hell out of that album because the sound of diiv's music is damn near perfect. they good be singing about practically anything and as long as their music sounds the way it does im gonna buy it. no ultimatums for diiv!
The keyboard player quit the day of their scheduled bonnaroo performance after they missed the flight and had to reschedule for the following day. Maybe he was pissed about being late to shit all the time and when they missed the flight was like fuck this.
Albums can make years to make. It's just their business whether they want to take their time writing music. Besides, Is The Is Are is quite a long album with lot of tracks
met Zach's doppelganger the other day. coolest part is he listens to diiv too. hehe. onceinalifetime? I'm super excited about this btw. I've been checking Diiv links every few weeks for hope of new songs. satisfied.
For me, at least, Oshin is a perfect album, but it looks like you guys got even better. If this is the style you plan to progress with on the new album, I'm really looking forward to hearing it!
"I’ll hold you here tight/ Keep you overnight and it gets too bright/ And your body’s a brick/ But now i’m fucked to die in a world of shit" How can you write something like this? What's your inspiration? Wish I could write something like that!
