Frog in Boiling Water is the 2nd album from the existing version of Diiv– including singer and guitar player Zachary Cole Smith, guitar player Andrew Bailey, bassist Colin Caulfield, and drummer Ben Newman. The brand-new album’s title is a referral to Daniel Quinn’s 1996 unique The Story of BDiiv discussed:
If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will naturally desperately attempt to climb out. If you position it carefully in a pot of warm water and turn the heat on low, the frog will sink into a peaceful stupor, precisely like one of us in a hot bath, and in the past long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly permit itself to be boiled to death.
We comprehend the metaphor to be one about a sluggish, ill, and extremely banal collapse of society under end-stage industrialism, the harsh truths we’ve possibly pertained to accept as typical. That’s the boiling water and we are the frogs. The album is basically a collection of photos from different angles of our modern-day condition which we believe highlights what this collapse appears like and, more especially, what it seems like.
