DIIV. Sandy Kim.

When you’re trying to describe a DIIV song to someone, you’ll likely hum the main guitar hook in place of any vocal melody. The same will probably be true of “Under the Sun,” the latest in a string of tracks the Brooklyn dream pop act has shared in the ramp up to the release of their sophomore album Is The Is Are.

The bright, upbeat song is a turn toward optimism and accessibility after the recent darkness and complexity of “Mire (Grant’s Song).” Give it a listen below.

Is The Is Are is out February 5 on Captured Tracks.
