DIIV Drop New Single 'The Fountain,' Produced by A. G. Cook
New York dream-rock/shoegaze band DIIV surprise-released a new single, "The Fountain," on Thursday, August 6, 2026. The track was produced by A. G. Cook, founder of PC Music, and serves as an early preview of the band's upcoming album, ZIRP!
What was announced
According to a report by Stereogum, DIIV had been teasing new material in the lead-up to the release. "The Fountain" is now out as an early preview track from ZIRP!, though the band has not yet detailed the rest of the rollout.
Why the timeline stands out
DIIV have historically taken long stretches between albums. Their previous record, Frog In Boiling Water, came out in early 2024 — meaning ZIRP! is arriving just over two years later, a notably fast turnaround by the band's own standards.
The A. G. Cook connection
A. G. Cook is best known as the founder of PC Music and for recent collaborations with Charli XCX and Caroline Polachek. His production credit on a DIIV track is being seen as a cross-genre pairing.
What we don't know yet
- Full release date for the album ZIRP!: not yet announced
- Tracklist: not yet announced
- Tour dates tied to the release: not yet announced
For now, fans have "The Fountain" to hold them over as more details on ZIRP! are expected in the coming weeks.
