DIIV (pronounced and formerly known as Dive) is an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York City, formed in 2011. The band consists of Zachary Cole Smith (vocals, guitar), Andrew Bailey (guitar), Colin Caulfield (bass, keyboards, guitar, vocals) and Ben Newman (drums).
Initially called Dive, the band started as Smith's solo recording project. After releasing three singles on Captured Tracks, DIIV released its debut studio album, Oshin, on June 26, 2012. Their second album, Is the Is Are, came out in 2016 after a lengthy and troubled creation.[http://www.stillinrock.com/2015/12/interview-still-in-rock-diiv.html Interview with Still in Rock, December 2015] “Still in Rock” On October 4, 2019, DIIV's third album, Deceiver, was released on Captured Tracks.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/listen-new-single-diiv-skin-game-band-announce-new-album-2532041|title=Listen to a hypnotic new single from DIIV as band announce return with new album, 'Deceiver'|last=Aubrey|first=Elizabeth|date=2019-07-24|website=me.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-08-23}} On May 24, 2024, DIIV released their fourth album, Frog in Boiling Water, to positive reception.

After a few years playing guitar with the psych-rock band Soft Black and playing drums for Beach Fossils, Zachary Cole Smith formed DIIV in 2011 as a forum for his own songs. He enlisted childhood friend Andrew Bailey (like Smith, from Connecticut) on guitar, bassist Devin Ruben Perez (from New York City), and ex-Smith Westerns drummer Colby Hewitt (from California) as his live band.{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/diiv-mn0002827271/biography|title=DIIV | Biography & History|website=AllMusic|access-date=October 20, 2019}} Smith, who originally named the project "Dive" after the Nirvana song of the same name,{{cite web

Smith would eventually change the spelling of the band's name after learning of the early 1990s Belgian industrial act by that name.
Captured Tracks signed the band and released two singles, "Sometime" and "Human", which were recorded solely by Smith and had acted as demos.{{cite news

In May 2012, the band changed their name to DIIV, according to Smith, "out of respect for Dirk Ivens and the original Dive," a 1990s Belgian industrial group.{{cite magazine

"We’ve not been contacted by Dirk Ivens or his lawyers," Smith said in a press release, "but the short of it is that I don’t really give a fuck what the band is called." He continued, "I originated this project in a bedroom with no internet and didn’t know if it would ever leave the bedroom. 'DIVE', the word, was an element of what inspired the project in its genesis, but we’ve outgrown the name and its associations. The band is the same, the music is the same, the future will always be the same. A name is nothing."{{cite web

The songs on Oshin were influenced by krautrock, C86 bands, Nirvana and world music. "People didn’t seem to pick up on the influence of these Malian guitar players, especially Baba Salah whose record I got at the library," Smith said. "He's a huge star in Mali, but he has this one record called Borey and it was huge for me and influenced the way I experimented with melody."{{cite web

Drummer Colby Hewitt left the band in spring 2015 due to his rumored drug addiction.{{cite web|last1=McDermott|first1=Patrick D.|title=What Happened To DIIV?|url=http://www.thefader.com/2015/08/11/diiv-zachary-cole-smith-interview|website=The Fader|access-date=August 14, 2015|date=August 11, 2015}} Ben Newman, (from North Carolina, formerly of Banda Suki) who played on several "Oshin" tracks including "Doused" (credited as Ben Wolf) was added as the group's drummer in April 2015, and played on the bulk of Is the Is Are.

In an interview with NME in October 2019, bassist Colin Caulfield commented on this period in the band's career, "It definitely felt like an end point... I had tried really hard to be as supportive as possible for a long time. It was a hands up moment, it was the type of realization Cole had to come to himself. And he did, which is great."{{Cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/music-interviews/diiv-interview-looking-easy-solution-addiction-found-theres-not-one-2555618|title=DIIV interview: "I was looking for an easy solution to addiction"|website=Nme.com|date=9 October 2019|access-date=20 November 2020}}
This period also saw the band take part in very occasional interviews with the media, with the band remaining relatively out of the public eye more than ever. Throughout 2016–2018 DIIV released a vast selection of cover songs, with the group performing songs by Elliott Smith, Cat Power, Sparklehorse and (Sandy) Alex G and My Bloody Valentine. Later in 2017, DIIV also parted ways with bassist Devin Ruben Perez after earlier controversy arose from the revelation that Perez had posted antisemitic, racist, homophobic, and sexist comments on 4chan.{{Cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/news/57837-diivs-devin-ruben-perez-under-fire-for-sexist-racist-homophobic-remarks-on-4chan/|title=DIIV's Devin Ruben Perez Under Fire for Sexist, Racist, Homophobic Remarks on 4chan|website=Pitchfork|date=14 December 2014}} Perez himself maintains that he left the band over artistic differences and industry fatigue.{{Cite web|url=https://imgur.com/jz4L1sZ|title=imgur.com|website=Imgur|accessdate=18 March 2023}}

In the aftermath of Cole’s personal struggles, he "finally accepted what it means to go through treatment and committed," emerging with a renewed focus and perspective. Getting back together with the band in Los Angeles would result in a series of firsts. This would be the first time DIIV wrote and recorded a record as a band with bassist Colin Caulfield bringing in demos, writing alongside Cole, and the entire band contributing to the songwriting process of every song.{{Cite web|url=https://capturedtracks.com/artist/diiv/|title=DIIV|website=Captured Tracks}} In an interview, Colin explained the writing process, "Cole and I approached writing vocal melodies the same way the band approached the instrumentals," says Colin. "We threw ideas at the wall for months on end, slowly making sense of everything. It was a constant conversation about the parts we liked best versus which of them served the album best."{{Cite web|url=https://capturedtracks.com/diiv-annouce-forthcoming-album-deceiver/|title=DIIV Announce Forthcoming Album, Deceiver|website=Captured Tracks}}

DIIV gained new fans and played to a wider, larger arena-rock audience when they were selected to open for Depeche Mode during several stops on the “Memento Mori” tour in 2023, including performances at venues such as the Kaseya Center in Miami, FL on October 12, 2023, the United Center in Chicago, IL on November 13, and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY on December 3, among others.
On February 15, 2024, the band announced that their next LP would be released on May 24, 2024, on label Fantasy Records. The album's lead single, "Brown Paper Bag", was released on YouTube the same day. The album, Frog in Boiling Water, is titled after Daniel Quinn's metaphor in philosophical novel The Story of B, and refers to the "slow, sick, and overwhelmingly banal collapse of society under end-stage capitalism, the brutal realities we’ve maybe come to accept as normal". The band describes the album as "a collection of snapshots from various angles of our modern condition which we think highlights what this collapse looks like and, more particularly, what it feels like."{{cite web|url=https://fantasyrecordings.com/diiv-announce-new-album-frog-in-boiling-water-out-may-24-via-fantasy/|title=DIIV announce new album Frog in Boiling Water out May 24 via Fantasy|website=Fantasy Records|author=Dave Henson|date={{date|15feb24}}|access-date={{date|15feb24}}}}{{cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/news/diiv-announce-new-album-frog-in-boiling-water-share-new-song-brown-paper-bag-listen/|title=Diiv Announce New Album Frog in Boiling Water, Share New Song "Brown Paper Bag": Listen|website=Pitchfork|author=Matthew Strauss|date={{date|15feb24}}|access-date={{date|15feb24}}}}
