DIIV share new Mount Kimbie remix of "Everyone Out" & announce new EU/UK tour festival dates.
Today, DIIV return with the release of a new remix of “Everyone Out” by acclaimed Warp Records electronic outfit Mount Kimbie.
The new track follows two other recent remixes of “Brown Paper Bag” and “Raining On Your Pillow” from Dutch producer Upsammy, and Bournemouth electronic composer and DJ, Daniel Avery, respectively – the latter was swiftly added to the B-list at BBC Radio 6 Music at the turn of the year.
The songs are taken from DIIV’s fourth album Frog In Boiling Water. Produced by Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Grizzly Bear), the record arrived in late-2024 to wide acclaim for its atmospheric and emotionally resonant soundscapes.
Critics have praised the album's introspective lyrics and complex production, with DIY describing the album as "truly special." Elsewhere, Stereogum made the album their Album Of The Week calling the band "a modern standard bearer to a younger generation", whereas CLASH say the album is "as gorgeous a record as you’ll hear this year". Further praise includes coverage from the likes of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, and many more.
“Everyone Out” was the second single to be taken from Frog In Boiling Water and utilises a softer and more textural sonic pallet using acoustic instruments, layered tape loops and synthesizers. The new remix sees the track reworked through Mount Kimbie’s prismatic filter stretching and manipulating it into something at once hypnotic and deeply immersive, playing off the same holistic marriage of organic-meets-electronic elements that DIIV themselves explore on the latest record.
Frog In Boiling Water was a four-year process that nearly broke the band before the album was completed. With an aim to push their sound, make a record that challenged them, and treat the band as a democracy for the first time, DIIV began an ambitious journey, both individually and collectively. This journey left their relationships with one another fraying, with the many complex dynamics of family, friendship and finances entangled, coupled with suspicions, resentments, bruised egos and anxious questions. They ultimately found their way through, and the result is 10 songs that mine a new lyrical and musical depth, those two halves mirroring one another inside a reflective and immersive whole. It is a mesmeric testament to enduring, to envisioning anything else on the other side while you remain here, in the slowly heating water of right now.
Frog In Boiling Water, both the title and the themes of the record, reference “The Boiling Frog” in Daniel Quinn’s The Story of B. The band explains,
“If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death.”
“We understand the metaphor to be one about a slow, sick, and overwhelmingly banal collapse of society under end-stage capitalism, the brutal realities we’ve maybe come to accept as normal.
That’s the boiling water and we are the frogs.
The album is more or less 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.”
Alongside the new remix, DIIV have also announced an extensive EU / UK headline tour and a multitude of festival dates for this summer including End Of The Road, Paredes de Coura, and more.
The shows come on the heels of a packed-out 25 date EU/UK tour at the tail end of last year, which also saw the band play two sold-out dates with Fontaines D.C. at London’s Alexandra Palace. DIIV also recently finished a 40+ date tour in North America in support of Frog In Boiling Water, and have just announced a special 3 night run of shows at Los Angele's Teragram Ballroom May 24-26, where they will perform the album in its entirety each night.
