Before Oshin, there was Sometime, Human, and Geist… In 2011, a newly formed DIIV (known, at the time, as DIVE) created instant vibrations in the blog-world with their impressionistic debut single Sometime; finding its way onto the esteemed pages of Pitchfork a mere matter of weeks after the groups formation. They quickly followed it up with the equally great Human and Geist, with the latter featuring a b-side cover of Kurt Cobains Bambi Slaughter. These very first offerings from DIIV chemically fused the reminiscent with the half-remembered, building a musical world out of old-air and new breeze. These are songs that remind us of love in all its earthly perfections and perversions, and work that ultimately put DIIV on the map, leading the way for the band to become a central influence on the sound and aesthetic of the 2010s Brooklyn indie music scene. Now, to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of their seminal debut album Oshin, all three 7s will be repressed for the very first time since their original release. DIIV: Looking back, these 7s were really the thing that propelled the band into existence and pushed us to realize Oshin in the first place. This type of retrospective project wouldnt feel complete without them.
