ZIRP! was produced by A. G. Cook, known for his work with Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek and Jónsi. Despite the producer’s association with electronic music, the recordings prioritized live drums and intricate layers of guitar, with minimal digital processing.
The album title is an acronym for Zero Interest Rate Policy. The album was previously previewed with the single “The Fountain.”
The DIIV will perform on September 27 at Balaclava Fest, held at Tokio Marine Hall in São Paulo. The show precedes the band’s tour of North America and Europe.
