Louder, more emotional and more thoughtful than ever before, Zachary Cole Smith makes his finest DIIV album so far with ‘Deceiver’.
by Matthew Langham It’s been a frustratingly long wait for DIIV’s follow-up album to their 2012 debut Oshin.

It seems that lead singer Zachary Cole Smith’s heroin addiction is replicating that of his musical hero, Kurt Cobain.
