A Thing Called Divine Fits
Indie rock connoisseurs will recognise the names behind Divine Fits—Britt Daniel (Spoon), Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade), and Sam Brown (New Turk Bombs). The band’s debut album was produced by Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and features five songs apiece by Boeckner and Daniels, plus a cover.
