DIIV LIVE IN TAIPEI 2026
在筹备第四张专辑《Frog in Boiling Water》的四年里，DIIV在过去十年间复兴了梦幻流行与瞪鞋摇滚，并以2019年的《Deceiver》达到巅峰。此后，他们成了不受任何束缚的自由人，唯一的责任就是创作一张挑战自我、突破既有框架的专辑。
疫情打乱了一切，每位成员开始各自创作，累积出庞大的素材山。取样、磁带机、断拍节奏——一切似乎都充满可能。他们前往莫哈维沙漠的租屋闭关，每天工作长达13小时，试图将个人热情熔铸为集体的声音，并道出这个动荡时代的某种真实。
随后他们与制作人Chris Coady合作，每周六天在他的家庭录音室密集录制，长达九个月。 Coady成为实质上的第五位成员，加入乐团关于方向的存在主义式辩论。与此同时，主唱Smith初为人父，不得不面对一个核心难题：家中有了新生儿，他该如何在歌词中召唤出一个反乌托邦的世界？
《Frog in Boiling Water》是一张美丽而幽魂般的专辑，DIIV凝视着人类共同的虚无，试图在那片笼罩一切的阴霾中，找出一丝希望的轮廓。这是一份关于坚持的迷人见证。
Four years into making their fourth album, Frog in Boiling Water, DIIV had helped revitalize dream-pop and shoegaze during the prior decade, culminating in 2019's Deceiver. With it, they were now free agents who didn't owe anything to anyone but themselves — to make a record that challenged them, that pushed their sound beyond any previous parameters.
With the world upended, every member began working on their own pieces, individual tastes accreting into a mountain of material. There were samples, tape machines, breakbeats — everything seemed possible, open, new. They decamped to a rented home in the Mojave, working 13 hours a day for 10 days straight, trying to funnel their individual passions into a collective whole that said something about our precarious moment.
Working with producer Chris Coady, they began tracking six days a week at his home studio for nine months. He became the de facto fifth member, joining existential debates about DIIV's direction. Smith also became a father, wrestling with a central question: how could he lyrically conjure a dystopia with a newborn in the house?
Frog in Boiling Water is a gorgeous and haunted record, as DIIV gaze into our collective oblivion and try to articulate a trace of hope inside that enveloping gloom. It is a mesmeric testament to enduring.
