DIIV

ZIRP! is the fifth studio album from DIIV and the follow-up to 2024’s Frog in Boiling Water. Produced by A. G. Cook, the 11-track album is due October 30, 2026.

DIIV introduced the record through a deliberately cryptic campaign built around mailed business cards, a QR code, and a phone hotline promising “the future of alternative multimedia entertainment.” The band’s official album page describes ZIRP! as “the new alternative” and “a new genre for the 21st century.”

Per the band’s own statement, ZIRP! is their pop record—not a niche album aimed only at close-reading music obsessives, but a deliberately accessible, mainstream alternative-rock record. They contrast its sense of fun with the more serious weight of Frog in Boiling Water, saying it was fun to make and is meant to be fun to hear: “life is hard. ZIRP! is easy.”

The album opens with “The Fountain” and also includes “Kid,” “When The Glow Came For Us,” “Dare Me,” “The Crash,” “Trillions,” “Us Against You,” “Evangelizer,” “Underground,” “My Star,” and “Idiot In The Sky.”
