Everyone meet Divine Fits, the hopefully glorious union of Britt Daniel from Spoon, New Bomb Turks’ Sam Brown, and Dan Boeckner from Wolf Parade. No music is available to determine whether or not it’s any good, but with that lineup, I have high hopes. The band will release an album via Merge Records later in the year.
