Darwin Deez to Tour North America This Winter, Will Release Self-Titled Debut in February

Nerdy American hippie folkie and unlikely pop star (real name ) has already made quite a name for himself in Britain. Over the last 18 months, his happy, chirpy singles “Constellations” and “Radar Detector” (completely nonsensical video for the latter below) appeared on national radio playlists in the UK. You couldn’t avoid them if you tried. (To be honest, for a while I thought he was following me around as “Radar Detector,” playing loud and irksome on a club PA, interrupted a serious conversation I was trying to have with an English band back in October.) Fans over there can’t get enough of him it seems, quickly buying up tickets to see him on a Radar tour for up and coming acts in spring 2010, a headlining tour of the UK this past October, and another upcoming UK tour set to begin in late February 2011.

His self-titled debut album was released in the UK in mid-May 2010, but it will finally have a release here in the U.S. on February 22 on . A single, “Bad Day,” will arrive about a month prior, on January 18. Gearing up for this release, Darwin and his band will be going on an extensive tour stateside so Americans will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with his music. Catch him at a venue near you.
