self described “happy music for sad people”

I’ve been really into Darwin Deez for the past few weeks. The band has been getting a lot of good press online and are one of my votes for Mill acts in 2010.

Darwin Deez - “Radar Detector” (mp3 from WRMC)

The poppy guitars and claps of Radar Detector feels like it was jacked from the first season of the OC, but the simplicity and quirkiness of the song gives it more personality.

Bonus - Xaphoon Jones, creator of indie-gone-hiphop tracks for Chiddy Bang has remixed the song, giving it his usual grimy synth beat. The vocal sample sounds good and the change in the song’s tone is creative take on a cutesy synth-pop song.
