Wtf is replika

@@godplayer5336 Lmao I’m wondering the same thing

This is how they get paid (outside of subscription)

I also ain't got nobody to talk to, well that's why I got the app

@@alejandromijangos4180 I have plenty of people, I'm quite lucky. But it's interesting watching the AI develop

maaaaan.

No one wanted to know that they are your friends.

people are so nasty :) that’s dope, and anyone in their right mind would be jealous lol.

@@luciidawson haha I know I was just saying I've been talking with them and they been working hard.

@@TheBlackandSilverWay That's awesome. So many people are so full of hate, jealousy, insecurity and envy. Excited for this new album!

@@thomasrainbow did you dig the taker track from yesterday?

AGREED

RedT this is so crazy for me I literally just got obsessed with sonic youth and then diiv releases this it’s a blessing

RedT Late Sonic Youth, but you’re right. Thats cool.

RedT can you give me some Sonic Youth to check out then? I don’t know them at all but I love DIIV

@@Gumbo72203 Incinerate is a great song

Oshin is out of this world good.

I just saw these guys last night in Toronto - backing up Depeche Mode - ohmigosh - my husband who doesn’t know DM all that well declared well I hope they’re as good as this band!! They rocked the house! And were my favourite band of all time for the 30 minutes they were on. Stupendous performance 🎭 ❤

Sounds pissed off, I dig it

El Alien I bet when people see you in public they’re immediate reaction is “Ahhh, Fuck.. Lets go the other way”

@@charlesm5752 I mean, he is speaking truth

I miss Elliott so much...

Good call you're right I didn't notice,for me it lands between bea ch fossils and the wavves in sound.

First thing i thought of! It sounds like a demo from the either/or era with added shoegaze guitars

Came here for this comment 😂 Made me think of "How To Take A Fall" at first listen.

I wish DIIV sounded like Pale Saints. That would've been a killer direction for them to go in, and it would've made sense given the sound of their old stuff.

Hear you! Same feeling.

ikr!! 😍

meet Silversun Pickups

I was just thinking the same and yes it's awesome! Underrated band they are legends

Not quite as developed, but perfectly decent stuff

Cool ✌✌✌

Exactly, I completely agree with you! Oshin was recorded and released 7 years ago when he was still in Beach Fossils and didn't really have any experience of fronting a band. The line up has changed a few times since DIIV's inception and the other members have become more involved in the process. When you get older, you see more and experience different things - all the turmoil that has happened within this band over the years has fed into their music. Inevitably influences change (there's a Neil Young interview somewhere on RU-vid where he sums up why artist's music - aesthetics and approaches change perfectly). I love Oshin lots and it was/is an important album for me personally, as was seeing DIIV play in the UK four years ago and showcasing new songs that would end up on Is the Is are. As you said in your other comment, the production is cleaner and clearer, Cole's vocals (and Colin's awesome backing vocals) are not hiding behind reverb anymore, the lyrics have more importance and purpose within the framework of the song, and you can hear how Cole actually sings more. Ok that's probably enough

I’ve been in bands before too and it’s always more productive to use everybody’s strengths. I always wondered what was up with the cloudy vocals , and after oshin got so much flack for it I was sure they would be better on is the is. But was disappointed. Is the is are started really strong but IMO fell off about six tracks in. I assumed cole Smith was very insecure about his voice or something? I wondered why because his voice isn’t terrible. He’s not an amazing vocalist but at the same time his style of music doesn’t require him to be. Plenty of indie bands have average singers and sound great. I also wondered why they never used Colin on backgrounds as well, as he actually has a better voice in certain aspects . It finally sounds like they are using their full potential.

sophos34 I hope you’re doing well now

Relaxer Few relapses here and there throughout the last few years but right now over six months clean

sophos34 I am proud of you, keep it up and I wish you the best

@@jakej654 Congrats. I heard NA works great and also psychedelic therapy in a clinical setting.

@El Alien You've done molly but would "never smoke meth". Do you know what molly even is bro?

Enjoyment of music is subjective. I loved Oshin and how the vocals were in line with the esoteric riffs. People kept asking for DIIV to change, but I liked them as they were.

Yes! :D

Goadiroth :D If you have time and guitar or bass cover this would be amazing!
