| 3.4 great | Erwann S. EMERITUS | November 27th 24 |
Deceiver sees DIIV going full gaze, which makes for some of their most intense songs when they decide to just go (that doesn't happen as much as I would have liked).

This is much better than it is generally regarded, a huge grower. Blankenship is an oddball, not at all mellow/shoegazey, but a real banger. It has all the essence of indie rock.

They mixed in a lot of rock and shoegaze into their dream pop to renew their sound with this one, and honestly I quite dig it. This album reminded me a lot of Nothing. They do sprinkle in some darker undertones, mostly from lovely dissonant guitar lines, giving off some distant Slint/90's alt bands vibes, on tracks like 3 or 4 especially in the last third. However this is stil mostly a happy, lighthearted record, with tracks like 6, 7 and 9 being quite fun/chill. 9 is in particular poppy and a nice upbeat jam, which contrasts nicely with the slower 8. I however wish the record had stopped there. The closer, while not bad, brings the dark vibes a bit and concludes on a grand atmospheric finale (into a fadeout), which I feel was a mistake. Bumps this down half a point to a 3.7

Even if everyone knows the band's 3 great inspirations (Bloody Valentine, Nirvana, Elliot Smith), this sound of an era still sounds and resonates as current and not yet out of style. What Diiv is doing on Deceiver is not only to be inspired by it, but also to appropriate it and ingest it in order to bring back to life the old lost ghosts that darken our souls and visions. It's an album of open wounds, striking
