DIIV have shared “Kid,” the second single from their forthcoming fifth album ZIRP!, due October 30 via Fantasy Recordings.
Following lead single “The Fountain,” “Kid” reveals a gentler side of the A. G. Cook-produced record, starting from an intimate acoustic core before gradually opening into a fuzzed-out, distorted finale. It’s another intriguing look at a record that finds DIIV pushing beyond the heavier shoegaze of Frog In Boiling Water while keeping the band’s hazy guitar textures and melodic instincts intact.
The single arrives with a video directed by Jaxon Whittington and filmed by vocalist Zachary Cole Smith’s son Roy and his friend Julian, giving the clip a playful child’s-eye view of the band.
Check out “Kid” below and look for ZIRP! on October 30.
