BUY ALBUM HERE
In early 2012, they met up in LA, locked themselves in a tiny recording studio and produced their first album together – basically forming a superband – yet there’s no clashing of egos, everyone is real, organic and brings their own elements to the table, if their debut album, A Thing Called Divine Fits, is any indication. The direction of the album is bolder and rougher around the edges than that of Spoon. A Thing Called Divine Fits has more of a new age British post punk undertone than the alt-rock we expect from Britt Daniel. Daniel has added a creatively flirty injection to this album with syntho-electric backgrounds and raspy jagged lyrics which were not huge components of past work. “Flaggin a Ride” is a catchy, enjoyable and approachable single, which I feel is one of the highlight tracks of the album. I’m interested to see if this superband will outlive the hype and stereotypical 2-album run and maintain interest of listeners with future albums to come.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
