Darwin Deez’s particular brand of lo-fi, bedroom indie-pop isn’t ground breaking... but everything about it is so cute and endearing that it simply doesn’t matter

An album cut from the same cloth as The Strokes' This Is It - bright, clean melodies with just a touch of gain, song structures you're hard pressed to forget
