I finally gave DIIV's Oshin some headphone time today, and I like the album better now because of it. Sometimes that is what it takes--attention to the details. The album annoyed me at first because the vocals are buried. I had been listening to other new releases of the same ilk that I would maybe still consider superior--True by Violens and Nocturne by Wild Nothing, but Oshin will get a little more time going forward. Playing new albums for the first time on my car's fried speakers definitely doesn't do them justice.
