Found Darwin Deez while browsing through the free offers on Amie St.
You Might Hear: a vocal gallimaufry of a young Ben Gibbard, a quirky Jon Foreman (what?! I know.), and the occasional David Bazan (the whine, the upper register), a stylish approach to guitar accompaniment, aspiring MGMT (maybe more Postal Service) tendencies, and remember the atmospheric, moody beats of Her Space Holiday? Well, a little of that with more sugar.
Listen:
From Deez’s MySpace:
He plays a 4-string electric guitar in his own invented, secret tuning. He was raised by Baba Lovers (followers of Avatar Meher Baba, like Pete Townshend) in Chapel Hill, NC. Five years ago, he left Wesleyan University (MGMT, Erase Errata) to start a band in New York City. Their current live set features his original songs, harsh electronic noise, and bouts of synchronized dancing.

I laughed out loud when I watched this. I really like the jazz hand up and down dance move. The little chicken walk at the end was pretty hilarious. Is he wearing a headband?
