DIIV Oshin (10th Anniversary) 2LP Clear Vinyl

Description

The album received critical acclaim from Pitchfork granting it Best New Music, NME ranked it in the Top 10 among its Albums of the Year, and it positioned DIIV as a central influence on the sound and aesthetic of the 2010s Brooklyn indie music scene.

Beginning in 2011 as the nom-de-plume of Z. Cole Smith, musical provocateur and frontman of the atmospheric and autumnally-charged four- piece, DIIV created instant vibrations in the blog-world with their impressionistic debut single Sometime. DIIV craft a sound that is at once familial and frost-bitten. Indebted to classic kraut, dreamy Creation- records psychedelia, and the primitive-crunch of late-80s Seattle, the band walk a divisive yet perfectly fused patch of classic-underground influence on their debut LP.

To commemorate the 10th anniversary, this limited edition 2xLP com bines the ‘Oshin’ tracklist with the original ‘Oshin’ demos recorded by Smith, and two live cuts recorded at storied Brooklyn DIY venue Shea Stadium including the never before released Yuk.

The expansive packaging includes a craft paper die-cut widespine housed in a clear printed PVC sleeve, vinyl pressed on blue marble (to commemorate the very first limited edition pressing of ‘Oshin’ on Captured Tracks), a DIIV Fuck The World poster, and a retrospective booklet with archival photos, reflections from each bandmember, new writing from the original Oshin poet, Madeline Jones, and expanded liners by Shaad DSouza
