Just heard 'Blankenship' and it's up my alley. How does it compare to the rest of the album?

four years pass...

I know there aren't many DIIV fans on ILM, but I really like them. New album due out in April, Frog in Boiling Water.

very '90s fashion in the video, which also features Fred Durst:

Via spending a lot of times in thrift stores from 1987-1996, I can practically smell their outfits vividly.

The middle guy looks like present-day Beck cosplaying as his early-90s self.

The outro guitar lead (comes in ~3m55s) is a shameless cop of the verse hook/melody of MBV's "I Only Said".

I think it's obvious enough that they're expecting people to connect the dots though I do wonder if Shields is in the songwriting credits.
