DIIV<\/a> have announced a new A. G. Cook<\/a> produced album, \u2018ZIRP!\u2019, sharing the news with a cryptic hotline sent out to some fans.<\/p>\n Set to arrive on October 30, news of the record came with no advance singles or press announcements, and the band instead made the reveal by sharing a pre-save link \u2013 which you can find here<\/a> \u2013 on Instagram over the weekend.<\/p>\n Cook also re-shared a teaser on his own stories, while some fans received physical business cards in the post containing a QR code leading to DIIV\u2019s website, as well as a phone number.<\/p>\n According to Stereogum<\/em><\/a>, if you call the number, you\u2019re met with old school telemarketer-style messaging that promises the new album will be \u201cthe future of alternative multimedia entertainment\u201d. Adopting the language of a pushy start-up, there\u2019s also talk of the way it will \u201cchallenge assumptions,\u201d \u201ccreate entire new categories,\u201d and \u201cthink on a global scale\u201d.<\/p>\n The collaboration arrives at a moment when Cook\u2019s career is booming. The producer has had a hand in several major projects this year, working alongside Charli XCX<\/a> for the soundtrack of A24 film and pop mockumentary The Moment<\/a>,<\/em> and later on recently dropped seventh studio album \u2018Music, Fashion, Film<\/a>\u2018, which features a tribute to him on \u2018Magic Metal Montana\u2019.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc40 you gon\u2019 zirp if DIIV made it pic.twitter.com\/gj2007CxSe<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Stereogum (@stereogum) July 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n As for DIIV, the upcoming record will mark the follow up to their fourth studio album, \u2018Frog In Boiling Water<\/a>\u2018. In a\u00a0three-star review of the LP<\/a>,\u00a0NME<\/em>\u00a0shared: \u201cA quiet, undemanding and opaque album, \u2018Frog In Boiling Water\u2019 will appeal to a section of shoegaze fans that are keen to surrender to its impressionistic, seemingly-timeless charms. Others may ask themselves: why does it feel a bit like we\u2019re living the same day over and over again?\u201d<\/p>\n Opening up to\u00a0NME<\/em> about why recording the album was particularly tough,\u00a0Colin Caulfield<\/a>\u00a0shared: \u201cIt\u2019s particularly funny to answer this question with you, because last time we did an interview with NME<\/em>, I remember it being so positive, like, \u2018We\u2019re doing the best we\u2019ve ever done.\u2019 And it was true at the time, it felt like this rebirth for the band.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
