DIIV. Out of Brooklyn. Zachary Cole Smith started it in 2011 as a solo project, and now it's him with Andrew Bailey, Colin Caulfield and Ben Newman. Watery, krautrock-driven guitar dream pop. 'How Long Have You Known' is off their debut, Oshin (Captured Tracks, June 2012), with a video by Grant Singer in May 2012. Smith named Malian guitarist Baba Salah next to Nirvana and C86 bands as influences on Oshin. Their fifth album, ZIRP!, produced by A. G. Cook (Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek), came out Friday, October 30th, 2026 on Fantasy.
