Album: Frog In Boiling Water
A pure example of Shoegaze in a genre often misrepresented by overly ethereal and wistful sounding songs, Frog In Boiling Water is a well structured and somewhat menacing album from DIIV. Recorded in a rented house in the Mojave Desert amidst turmoil and pressures from band members’ personal lives, Frog in Boiling Water is a particularly raw album underscored by DIIV’s signature reverb and dirty distorted guitar.
