OSHIN

DIIV''''s seminal debut record Oshin returns to
shelves with newly reimagined album art!
The first offering from DIIV chemically fuses the
reminiscent with the half-remembered, building a
musical world out of old-air and new breeze. These
are songs that remind us of love in all its earthly
perfections and perversions. A lot of DIIV''''s magnetism was birthed in the process Zachary Cole
Smith went through to discover these initial compositions in the thick of summer, holed up in an
AC-less, window-facing corner of a painter''''s studio in Bushwick. He surrounded himself with cassettes and LP''''s, the likes of Lucinda Williams, Arthur Russell, Faust, Nirvana, and Jandek; writings
of N. Scott Momaday, James Welsh, Hart Crane,
Marianne Moore, and James Baldwin; and dreams
of aliens, affection, spirits, and the distant natural
world (as he imagined it from his window facing
the Morgan L train). The resulting music is as cavernous as it is enveloping, asking you to get lost
in its tangles in an era of short form content and
endless scrolling.
