Frog in Boiling Water is the fourth studio album by American indie rock band DIIV, released on May 24, 2024, through Fantasy Records.
[13] Uncut called it "a beautiful-sounding record with tracks like 'Somber the Drums' and 'Everyone Out' providing moments of tender poppy beauty amid the general sense of decay".
[12] Joe Goggins of DIY called the album "a highly conceptual and quietly furious piece that sifts through the wreckage of post-truth politics with disarming incision as well as "thrilling and thoughtful".
[10] Spin's Eli Enis wrote that "DIIV have once again shrewdly adapted, pivoting away from the chonky riffs of Deceiver and delivering the most tense, subtle, and cerebral music of their whole career".
felt that although Frog in Boiling Water contains some of the band's "most sincere, affecting writing, it's also somewhat inert: almost all of the songs have a similar mid-tempo drive that causes much of the first half to blend, which makes for a consistent yet somewhat monotonous listen".
