DIIV (formerly Dive) is an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2011. The band is composed of Zachary Cole Smith (vocals, guitar), Colin Caulfield (keyboards, bass, backing vocals), Devin Ruben Perez (guitar), and Ben Newman (drums).
DIIV's debut album, Oshin, was released in June 2012. The album was critically acclaimed, praised for its dreamy and shoegaze-influenced sound. Standout songs from the album include "Doused", "How Long Have You Known" and "Human".
Their follow-up album, Is the Is Are, was released in 2016. The album was more experimental than Oshin, and featured more prominent electronic elements. Standout tracks from the album include "Under the Sun", "Dopamine" and "Bent (Roi's Song)".
In 2018, DIIV released their third album, Deceiver. The album was their most successful to date, and featured a more straightforward, post-punk sound. Standout tracks from the album include "Skin Game", "Horsehead" and "Blankenship".
An interesting fact about DIIV is that their name is actually an acronym for "Division of Consciousness, Incarnation and Intellect Vibrations".
