Is The Is Are, the highly-anticipated sophomore release from Brooklyn-based DIIV, is an album years and many personal struggles in the making for its architect, Zachary Cole Smith. Recorded and mixed in various locations in Brooklyn, the album showcases everything you know and love about DIIV and many things you did not, all with an added nuance and depth. It’s a 17-song statement intended to resonate with its audience in much the same way that Sonic Youth’s Bad Moon Rising and Can’s Tago Mago have for Smith himself.
An extension and deepening of the musical ideas first expressed on 2012’s critically-lauded Oshin, Is The Is Are yields a multiplicity of textures, lyrical themes and moods. It is a more diverse world than Oshin, with different parameters and ideals. Dark and honest to a fault, the new songs are dynamic, loud, quiet, sad; they are songs that hiss and snarl; songs that, as Smith wrote recently, represent “the real me.”
