With DIVES, the power chords sound as welcoming and friendly as a freshly-opened bottle of white wine; the rhythm section sounds like an amicable pat on the back in 4/4 time; and the vocals sound like a promise: it’ll all be fine. On their 2017 debut EP for the label Siluh, Dora de Goederen, Viktoria Kirner, and Tamara Leichtfried made this promise via six anthemic, surfer-style songs. Now they have only one goal: world domination, at the very least. Although the jovial indie rock trio is most concerned with channeling the hovering spirits of bygone days in California and the phlegmatic melancholy of the Slacker era, DIVES actually come from Vienna, pragmatically enough. Their destination? The future— and a better one, to be precise. They promise!
