    Embracing their grungier influences, Deceiver marks a significant departure from DIIV's previously established brand of shoegaze. Tonally, the album may come to be seen as an outlier or turning point in the band's sound, but will certainly be held up as a solid addition to their discography.

    Deceiver isn’t your Oshin or Is the Is Are, not by a longshot. Yet, while certain touchstones are present that give away that this is in fact DIIV, in a much larger sense we’re observing a band operating unlike they have before, and in the midst of that shift, they execute it stunningly.

    Though it’s DIIV’s most consistent record so far, a step in the right direction and a more radical a gear shift than either of those releases, the tracks on Deceiver offer only wide differences in quality and little variation in style.
