#2029 Diiv - Is the Is Are

Diiv's latest is pure 80's via 00's, that endless arpeggios filtered through endless reverb, that endless post-motorik backboning endless chiming guitars, that shoegazey emoting drifting like a cut-rate ghost through the night.

I keep saying these albums are forgettable, that they have no moments that stand out.

Has the world changed or have I changed?

This time it might be a strength - this is one hours and three minutes that will melt together, that will pull you through on a long not-quite-taut thread until you are through - out the other side a little sleepier, a little happier, only slightly changed 3.5/5
