Watch DIIV Cover Elliott Smith

New York City based psych band, DIIV, has recorded a live cover track with our friends at Hero Magazine. DIIV has always been a group that will make it a point to tribute Elliott Smith. The lead singer, Zachary Cole Smith actually owns one of Elliott's original acoustic guitars the legend used to perform with.

DIIV covered one of our all time favorite songs "Ballad of Big Nothing" which appears on Elliott Smith's fourth studio album Either/Or. Watch the exclusive acoustic take of the iconic track below.

Listen To DIIV's New Album

The Brooklyn based indie/dream pop band DIIV is in the process of releasing their second studio album titled Is The Is Are, which is due to release next Friday February 5th under Captured Tracks Records.

DIIV has successfully made a name for themselves with their melodic psyche new sound and complete domination of the hip citizens throughout New York. The band has also announced official live residencies to support the new album. Lucky for us, The Guardian has released the entire album on SoundCloud a week before the release date. Take a look at where DIIV will be the next couple months and listen to Is This Is Are below.
