Diiv - Bent (Roi's Song)

Soporific, sure, but so are some of the best guitar-driven post-punk albums of the last few decades. Like other moody artists that annoyed the critics and gatekeepers of their day (the Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.), Diiv's music is cloying, repetitive, hopelessly nostalgic and altogether soothing.
