Single review – Darwin Deez
Darwin Deez is something of a media darling at the moment. A clear favourite of the Sunday supplements and BBC radio this quirky popster can do no wrong, and he certainly has the tunes to back up the notoriety.
Up In the Clouds is the third single from Darwin Deez and the third to be taken from their Eponymous album (let’s hope they stop dredging the album for singles and come with some new material soon). For me not quite as good as ‘radar detector’, it’s a little repetitive but nonetheless a poppy little number sure to be a summer hit and features one of my favourite instruments, the handclap!
Second track ‘Hey Mom’ is previously unreleased but not new, it’s been a live favourite for some time, and a much more interesting song, though it has a midway wobble when the band go freestyle on your ass.
