Divine Fits

Even though Divine Fits got started earlier this year, its members are hardly unknown figures: Britt Daniel started the experimental pop group Spoon in Austin in the early ’90s; Dan Boeckner played guitar and sang in the like-minded and popular Wolf Parade; and drummer Sam Brown came to this project from long-running punk band New Bomb Turks. While you can hear some of the members’ other projects in the music of Divine Fits, it mostly sounds like ’70s glam, but with a good deal more urgency in the rhythms. There’s also a bit of early power-pop darkness coursing through the songwriting. Daniel and Boeckner give the name of the project credence, because the co-frontmen have always been able to draw inspiration and energy seemingly out of nowhere.
