DIIV has opted for a nostalgic approach to music promotion, releasing the title track from their forthcoming album “Frog In Boiling Water” exclusively on their official website. This track is an enigmatic and disorienting journey, replete with perplexing images and links that initially appear incoherent.
In a statement accompanying the release, DIIV proclaims, “The title track of our new album, ‘Frog in Boiling Water,’ captures a moment in time as the world succumbs to its own weight.

That’s the boiling water, and we are the frogs. Essentially, the album is an assemblage of snapshots taken from diverse perspectives, reflecting our contemporary predicament and illuminating both its multifaceted nature and its profound emotional toll.”
Immerse yourself in the sonic tapestry of “Frog In Boiling Water” exclusively through the DIIV website. The highly anticipated album “Frog In Boiling Water” is set to make its official debut on May 24th via Fantasy Records. For further information, visit the official DIIV website.
