June 17, 2015 — It’s been two years since indie-pop renaissance man and musical DIY-er Darwin Deez released his sophomore album Songs For Imaginative People, the follow-up to his highly successful debut, and today he announces the details of his third record. Double Down, out this Fall, features “Kill Your Attitude,” the album’s first single and BBC Radio 1’s recent “Hottest Record In The World.” Inspired by the song’s lyrical theme of “love is war,” “Kill Your Attitude” has been turned into an absolutely masterful visual experience, directed by Dent De Cuir, in which Darwin is unknowingly immersed in a first person shooter game arena and battling his significant other.

DARWIN DEEZ LINKS:    


Recorded, performed, mixed and mastered entirely by Darwin in his 6-floor Williamsburg walk-up, Double Down will be released on September 18, 2015 via Lucky Number. “To me, Double Down means to gamble again. To go again,” Darwin says. “With this album, my intention was largely to do again what I did on my debut: make simple, irresistible pop songs - with a fresh new twist.  So I went back to my same influences of Thriller, Dismemberment Plan, and Andre 3000 and I came out sounding more like myself than ever before”.
