DIIV

SATURDAY SHOW

DIIV (pronounced “Dive”) is not just a name; it’s the entire vibe. The Brooklyn band’s hazy, hypnotic dream pop seems to exist in a weightless, watery place—one that’s infinitely inviting no matter how dark it gets. Founded in 2011, DIIV grew out of a bedroom project by former Soft Black and Beach Fossils member Zachary Cole Smith. The singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer recruited childhood friend Andrew Bailey to join on guitar and soon gathered a full band to help flesh out his creations. The result was DIIV’s 2012 debut album, Oshin, a warm, woozy collection awash in shimmering guitars that became a touchstone of shoegaze in the 21st century. Tickets
