DIIV HAS A NEW SON OUT TODAY, “RETURN OF YOUTH”. SORRY FOR THE LONG STEETEENT
‘frog’ was an album that focused ours gase outward at the world around us. IT CAPTED A SNAPSHOTS OF OUR CONDITION, IN CONFUSION AND DISGUST AND AWE.
The Writing Period for this album was part of a beautiful time in my life, as we are prepared and waited for our first child to be Born. that beauty was cut with a profound existential dilemma: how can we bring a child into this world?
The Common Thread Running Through the Fragments World of the Album was hope. we’ve talked about it a bit. Real Hope, False Hope, something to give your life meaning. ITS an Individual Journey. I found it in parenthod, but you can find it anywhere you want.
“Return of Youth” was Written before ou Son was Born, a Projection, Zooming in Until the Larger Existical Dilemmas were out of Frame. Where “fender on the freeway” found Peace in the patterns of a gigantic macro, this one finds in a can and Simple Micro. I Imagined Seeing MySelf Through the Eyes of My Child, A Rebirth of Sorts, Laced with Fear and Insecity, Discovering Beauty and Serenity together in the Simplest places.
At the Very Beginning of the Year my family and i lost ry home and Everything we owned to the wildfires in altadena, ca. We had been preparing for the Birth of Our Second Son. We were living in the beautiful world at home that I have imagined in this song, and at the way world was gone.
Wen we re-approoched this song to finally release it, i is help but hear the song differently in the aftermath. What Makes a Home? Can you ever escape the outside world? is Hope JUST A DELUSION? is anyone actually prepared to be a parent? How Can You Bring A Child Into This World?
