Produced by Chris Coady and written by DIIV (pronounced Dive), Frog in Boiling Water, the band’s fourth full-length LP is a collection of snapshots that explores the brutal realities of end-stage capitalism and overwhelming technological advance. Across 10 dark and dazzling tracks, DIIV documents the collapse from various angles with unusual sensitivity and depth of purpose while expanding their grand, hypnotic shoegaze, to create a transportive, sensual work of hope, beauty and renewal.
"thanks to everyone who listened to our new song “brown paper bag” today. “brown paper bag” is track two on our new album “frog in boiling water”. the way we see it, it’s both a pop song and a sludgy song, a country song and a shoegaze song, a dreamy song and a decidedly 90’s “rock” song.
while the rest of the record focuses on the larger external world, this one dwells on a specific internal experience of living in it: what does this world feel like sometimes?
ever feel like a brown paper bag?
