DIIV Announce Australian tour for April 2020 New album Deceiver out now!

Following the release of their highly anticipated third full-length album Deceiver, NYC’s DIIV today announce their Australian return with a five-date national tour. Kicking off on Wednesday 22 April, the band will bring their enthralling new live show to fans in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth & Hobart. Full run of dates below.

Rebirth takes place when everything falls apart. On Deceiver, DIIV crafts the soundtrack to personal resurrection under the heavyweight of metallic catharsis, upheld by robust guitars and vocal tension that almost snaps, but never quite… The new album from Zachary Cole Smith [lead vocals, guitar], Andrew Bailey [guitar], Colin Caulfield [vocals, bass], and Ben Newman [drums] was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Sonny Diperri (Protomartyr, Trent Reznor), marking the first time the band has worked with an outside producer. The album features the crystalized, darkly propulsive lead single ‘Skin Game,’ magnetically melancholic ‘Taker’ and searing, frenetic track ‘Blankenship‘.

Deceiver is preceded by 2012’s Oshin and 2016’s critical and fan favourite Is the Is Are. NME ranked it in the Top 10 among the Albums of the Year and Pitchfork’s audience voted Is the Is Are one of the Top 50 Albums of 2016 as the outlet dubbed it, “gorgeous.”

Don’t miss your chance to see DIIV live in Australia this April. Tickets on sale now via Mistletone.
