DIIV – Deceiver
The rock group DIIV is set to release its latest full-length album titled Deceiver in October.
The group’s new single Skin Game has already been well received by listeners, garnering praise for its strong guitar riffs and overall smooth rhythm. Skin Game is a deeply personal song about struggling with addiction and the rehab process.
The album as a whole sticks with this introspective theme, creating a strikingly transparent and reflective ambiance.
With three out of the four DIIV members being strong guitarists, Deceiver contains many impressive runs of featured guitar portions as well as solid background instrumentals.
Highlights from Deceiver include Like Before You Were Born and Between the Tides, both of which generate a keen feeling of self-awareness.
In essence, Deceiver is DIIV’s way of taking fans with them through their redemptive journey of rebirth out of the ashes – a journey they will not soon forget.
