Divine Fits, "super group," blah blah blah. I guess anytime you get people from established bands doing a new thing together, the label gets dropped. I don't even know that it's a bad thing or a good thing, it's just...a thing. But when you have two people with very distinctive & well known voices handling all of the vocals - in this case Britt Daniel from Spoon and Dan Boeckner from Handsome Furs & Wolf Parade - it honestly doesn't even feel like a "group," more like a compilation of unheard Spoon and Handsome Furs songs. I'm not even complaining about that, as I love both bands, but anyone coming into this project looking for something new or different is going to be disappointed. I expect this will get a lot of plays out of me though, my love of the Handsome Furs allowing me to pretend this is a new album by them and they didn't really break up.
