Album Notes & Community Reviews

DIIV's debut 'Oshin' is a reverb-drenched collection of melodic, motorik guitar pop. Zachary Cole Smith weaves together interlocking guitar lines that feel both aquatic and propulsive, creating a hypnotic, dreamlike atmosphere. The album captures a specific Brooklyn indie sound, blending the haze of shoegaze with the driving rhythm of krautrock.
