DIIV (née Dive)

"Doused"

So Dive have changed their name to DIIV.  Not quite sure if it's still pronounced "dive" or if it's supposed to be something like "Five-Hundred-Two-Five."  No matter.  They've released another great single called "Doused" that's got a bit of an early Interpol thing going on, at least instrumentally.

Their album Oshin will be out June 26th.

"Geist" 7-Inch

Brooklyn-based, Beach Fossils offshoot, Dive, released a 7-inch this week called "Geist" via Captured Tracks.

I'm loving the atmospheric, shoegaze-y sound of this one, and I'll keep an eye out for the upcoming LP.
