DIIV are set to release their sophomore full-length Is the Is Are on February 5. The New York indie-dirge act has already released a couple of the poppier singles from that record, but yesterday they shared a new single called “Mire (Grant’s Song)” that singer-songwriter Zachary Cole Smith says represents a different “aspect of the record.”
In this case, that means underscoring the darkness of songs like “Dopamine” with feedback, dissonance and a chorus that nods to “Amazing Grace.” Listen here.
