#214: DIIV

The band DIIV on Magic: The Gathering, Meals Clothing, Archive.org, Kava, and more.

Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked the dudes from DIIV to share a taste of their taste on Perfectly Imperfect.

DIIV is a Brooklyn-based band comprised of Cole Smith, Andrew Bailey, Colin Caulfield, and Ben Newman. Their unique flavor of shoegaze and post-punk made them one of the most critically acclaimed bands to come out of the Brooklyn DIY scene and a must-see live act. The band’s debut album Oshin had its tenth anniversary in June so Captured Tracks reissued it with some demo recordings and a box set containing 7” of the band’s first three singles. They also told me that they’re working on their 4th record now and have a few exciting things being announced in the near future, so stay tuned. Lucky for us, Cole, Andrew, Colin, and Ben are here to tell us about what they’ve been into.

Without further ado
