Divine Fits

Imagine a mix of electronic and organic drums laying in a bed of vintage synthesizers and rotating male vocals making love to a microphone and you’ll get a sense of Divine Fits’ debut album, A Thing Called Divine Fits, released this August on Merge records. The songs fit together so well, each piece snapping into place with the piece before and after, that it can be tough to comprehend how this is only their first album. This isn’t music built on ego, there’s no challenging each other in a toughest riff contest, dazzling with blazing speed or other feats of technical ability. It’s just good music. Much like the unstoppable force of Voltron, the pieces become magnificent when put together. Comprised of Spoon singer and guitarist Britt Daniel, Wolf Parade guitarist Dan Boeckner, and New Bomb Turks drummer Sam Brown, this is a supergroup finally worthy of the name. NICOLAS GRIZZLE
