Wolf Parade/Handsome Furs/Divine Fits member Dan Boeckner formed Operators in 2013 with New Bomb Turks/Divine Fits drummer Sam Brown and multi-instrumentalist Devojka. The band then released EP1 in 2014. Today, Operators have announced their debut album, Blue Wave, and shared its first single, "Cold Light," which you can hear above.
