About this album

Oshin is the breakthrough EP that established DIIV as one of the most compelling voices in 2010s indie rock. Released in 2012, it blends lo-fi grit, shoegaze wash and dream pop melody into a sound that feels both intimate and immersive. The record’s hazy guitars and driving rhythms helped define the band’s early identity and earned attention well beyond the underground, with songs such as Past Lives, How Long Have You Known? and Doused becoming touchpoints for their catalogue. Brief in length but strong in impact, Oshin captures a band arriving fully formed with a distinctive atmosphere and sharp melodic instinct.
