Sub Pop Records have announced that they’ve signed a newly-formed band composed of Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse), Nick Diamonds (Islands/Unicorns), and Honus Honus (Man Man) called Mister Heavenly.

According to the Sub Pop press announcement, Mister Heavenly’s formation was “spurred on by a mutual appreciation for doo-wop and doomed love songs.” After setting out to record a one-off instrumental seven-inch, the band soon found themselves writing an entire full-length “within a span of a few late-night sessions.”
