DIIE
Welcome To Diiemetrics
DIIEMETRICS TOTALE is the latest transmission from musical and philosophical collective DIIE. While the group spent the mid-to-late 2010s honing a krautrock-influenced brand of heavy guitar-based music (threading together elements of shoegaze, ambient, psych-rock and desert jazz) the new decade found the group retreating into inner-space to make something new. DIIE now emerges as a non-denominational organization dedicated to learning and healing via music that is both more aggressively experimental and weirdly serene.
DIIEMETRICS TOTALE - a collection of five lengthy spiritual journeys meant to help listeners commune with the mysteries of the divine - opens with “The Unknowable Name,” a defiant statement of purpose that moves from pounding aggression to atmospheric synth-driven krautrock topped with digitally mangled vocals. Throughout, these vocals are employed to de-personalize the narrator and bring listeners into the musical space.
From there, we move through placid ambient passages (“The Golem’s Dream,” “The Voice of the Forest”) into bracingly noisy sections (“The Wind Through the Ruins,” “The Dust of an Empire”) towards the album’s conclusion, a garbled prayer to a fractured sunrise that may or may not ever come - much like the heavenly plane that we all aspire to.
DIIEMETRICS TOTALE is many things - an abstract prayer to god, a weird rock album (for fans of Trans Am, Autolux, Air, Kikagaku Moyo, Kraftwerk, YMO, etc.), an attempt at touching the divine, a paean to our master, etc.
