Diiv Detail A. G. Cook-Produced Album ZIRP!, Line Up Tour Dates

Diiv, a Canadian indie rock band, has unveiled details about their upcoming album ZIRP!, produced by A. G. Cook. The album will be released on October 30 via Fantasy Recordings. A key track, "The Fountain," is available for streaming now. Cook expressed a desire to capture the band's live sound, recording drums before many songs were completed.

The album's themes revolve around a utopian and dystopian concept. Diiv recently released their previous album, Frog in Boiling Water, in 2024. To promote ZIRP!, the band will embark on a tour across the U.S. and Canada, beginning with a show in São Paulo, Brazil. The tour lineup includes performances in Brooklyn, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and several North American cities, with additional dates in Europe and France.
