Mistletone presents
DIIV
(USA)

with Prophetic Justice Ministry

Mistletone proudly presents DIIV’s headline show at Northcote Theatre with special guests to be announced. Known for their swirling guitars and hypnotic beats, DIIV crafts an immersive sonic experience that is both raw and ethereal, pulling you deep into their world. Their compelling new album Frog in Boiling Water is a gorgeous and haunted record, as DIIV gaze into our collective oblivion and try to articulate a trace of hope inside that enveloping gloom. Balancing rhythms first built from breakbeats and inspired by post-industrial power with guitars and vocals that often billow like diaphanous drapery, Frog in Boiling Water is mighty but breezy, greyscale but opalescent. “Reflected,” for instance, surges through softness, reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves to survive while wondering if they still serve us. “Brown Paper Bag” funnels dejection and angst into an exquisite intersection of dream-pop and post-rock, a wispy tune stretching from a steely foundation. Though DIIV helped to foster a shoegaze scene that has since swept up many imaginations, they rose above it despite nearly falling apart. DIIV brood beautifully inside music that frets about the present and future—but at least acknowledges it can still exist.
