Here is a thing called Divine Fits, a new band comprising
Spoon’s Britt Daniel, Wolf Parade’s Dan Boeckner and Sam
Brown of Columbus, OH’s New Bomb Turks. This, their first
album, entitled A Thing Called Divine Fits, will be released via
Merge Records on August 28.
A Thing Called Divine Fits was made with much excitement
and energy from March through May (minus a few weeks
off for research) in a backyard studio in Los Angeles. It was
co-produced with Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Yeah Yeah Yeahs,
Grinderman, Public Image Limited.) It’s about 42-and-a-half
minutes long. Alex Fischel plays keyboards like a madman all
over it. (Roughly) half the tracks are lead-sung by Dan and
half by Britt. And over the course of its 11 songs it covers such
topics as the death of true love, hitchhiking, cocoa butter,
emotional distance, what happens when the curtain drops, and
Minneapolis, MN.
