Add Date: January 11 

Artist: Darwin Deez 

Album: Darwin Deez 

Label: Lucky Number 

Genre: Rock, synth pop 

Comments: Catchy, synth-driven indie pop from New York's Darwin Deez, which the UK's Guardian calls "wonderful, strangely yearning pop, matching Strokesian ennui to a melody that reaches for twinkling stars" and Nylon describes as the "[b]est mustachioed pop since Hall & Oates." The promoter compares Deez and his band to The Dismemberment Plan, Ben Kweller (mostly for the vocals, I'm sure) and MGMT. Start with "Constellations" and "Radar Detector."
