DIIV - Deceiver
A grunge-shoegaze pop dream built on woozy guitars, roaring choruses and powerful songs.
This is the third album from singer/guitarist Zachary Cole Smith, guitarist Andrew Bailey, singer/bassist Colin Caulfield and drummer Ben Newman. Recorded in LA with Sonny Diperri (Nine Inch Nails/Protomartyr).
Super melodic with a nagging dischordia looming. Flowing choruses have that uber-pop sound that roars - pushing you and pulling you with a mixture of shoegazey pop bliss and giddying unease. Wistful vocals and chiming scruffy guitars build fragile but powerful ballads. Woozy guitars drive music that thrums in hypnotic, cyclical spirals.
