Boiled Alive, produced by Chris Coady, is a live album recorded at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles, CA on May 24th, 25th and 26th 2025.
The album consists of the entirety of the DIIV's last album, Frog In Boiling Water, with the addition of Return Of Youth as the album closer and interludes.
Frog in Boiling Water, both the title and the themes of the record, reference "The Boiling Frog" in Daniel Quinn's The Story of B.
The band explains, "If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out.
But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death."
"We understand the metaphor to be one about a slow, sick, and overwhelmingly banal collapse of society under end-stage capitalism, the brutal realities we've maybe come to accept as normal.
That's the boiling water and we are the frogs.
The album is more or less a collection of snapshots from various angles of our modern condition which we think highlights what this collapse looks like and, more particularly, what it feels like."
