DIIV Announces New A.G. Cook‑Produced Album ZIRP! via Fan Hotline

American indie rock band DIIV has revealed its upcoming album ZIRP!, scheduled for release on October 30. The record was produced by PC Music founder A.G. Cook, known for his work with Charli XCX and his 2024 solo project Britpop. DIIV’s announcement was delivered through a stealth campaign: fans received mailed business cards containing a QR code that linked to a hotline number (+1 229‑798‑9477). Callers hear a telemarketing‑style message promoting the album as “the future of alternative multimedia entertainment” and describing it as a new genre for the 21st century. The release follows the band’s May 2025 single “Return of Youth,” which addressed frontman Zachary Cole Smith’s loss of his home in the January Los Angeles wildfires and the arrival of his second child. Cook’s involvement adds further visibility, given his recent collaborations on Charli XCX’s work and various PC Music projects.
