Brooklyn's Darwin Deez blends indie, wacky charm reminiscent of Beck and Fleetwood Mac in his music, infusing sunshine pop with lo-fi dissonance. Known for his quirky dance routines akin to Napoleon Dynamite, Deez gained attention after forming his self-named band following his time with N.Y.C. group Creaky Floors. Their infectious indie pop single "Constellations" and lively live performances, including memorable dancing entrances to "Peanut Butter Jelly Time," garnered a following in the Brooklyn hipster scene and the U.K. The band's self-titled debut album, featuring "happy songs for sad people," was released by Lucky Number label in 2010, followed by subsequent albums like Songs for Imaginative People (2013) and 10 Songs That Happened When You Left Me with My Stupid Heart (2018) under the same label.
