Hello
DIIV has a brand new music out right now, “Return Of Youth”. Sorry for the lengthy assertion
‘Frog’ was an album that targeted our gaze outward on the world round us. It captured a sequence of snapshots of our situation, in confusion and disgust and awe.
The writing interval for this album was a part of a ravishing time in my life, as we ready and waited for our first baby to be born. That magnificence was reduce with a profound existential dilemma: how can we deliver a baby into this world?
The widespread thread operating by means of the fragmented world of the album was hope. We’ve talked about it a bit. Actual hope, false hope, one thing to offer your life which means. It’s a person journey. I discovered it in parenthood, however you could find it wherever you need.
“Return Of Youth” was written earlier than our son was born, a projection, zooming in till the bigger existential dilemmas have been out of body. The place “Fender On The Freeway” discovered peace within the patterns of a big macro, this one finds it in an earthly and easy micro. I imagined seeing myself by means of the eyes of my baby, a rebirth of kinds, laced with concern and insecurity, discovering magnificence and serenity collectively within the easiest locations.
On the very starting of the yr my household and I misplaced our house and every thing we owned to the wildfires in Altadena, CA. We had been getting ready for the delivery of our second son. We have been residing within the lovely world at house that I had imagined on this music, and directly that world was gone.
Once we re-approached this music to lastly launch it, I couldn’t assist however hear the music in another way within the aftermath. What makes a house? Are you able to ever escape the surface world? Is hope only a delusion? Is anybody really ready to be a dad or mum? How CAN you deliver a baby into this world?
I discovered once more the large questions have been irrelevant. You simply carry on residing I suppose. Life occurs on life’s phrases.
Anyway, make of the music and the video no matter you need, it’s only a snapshot, albeit a extra private one this time.
Get pleasure from.
Cole
