The song debuted as Zane Lowe's World Record on his Beats 1 Apple Music show. Speaking to Lowe, DIIV frontman Zachary Cole Smith explained that the track was inspired by Neu! and was written after the rest of the album had been recorded.
"Is The Is Are" links up with "Under The Sun", "Dopamine", "Mire (Grant's Song)", and "Bent (Roi's Song)" in teasing the follow up to 2012's Oshin.
Is The Is Are is out via Captured Tracks on 5 February.
