Is the Is Are is the upcoming second studio album by American indie rock band DIIV. It is set to be released in the fall of 2015 by Captured Tracks.[1] As with Oshin (2012), the album was written entirely by Zachary Cole Smith.[2]
Background and production
Is the Is Are was recorded in March 2015 at Strange Weather Recording Studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.[3][4]
Composition
According to Smith, the album was inspired by his experiences since the release of Oshin, including his arrest for drug possession in September 2013, as well as the following media scrutiny he and his girlfriend, Sky Ferreira, endured.[2]
Release and promotion
DIIV announced they would play a large portion of the album at an April 28, 2015 show at Baby's All Right in New York City. They have several other performances in North America and Europe scheduled for the summer of 2015.[1]
