Darwin Deez : 'Constellations'
Released: 6th December 2009
Label: Lucky Number
While it is never made clear if Darwin Deez is the name of the lead vocalist or the entire band, Constellations is a seemingly bland and lazy effort that is unlikely to do much to excite or thrill the Shoreditch scene kids they are likely to be hoping to attract. The band’s apparently kooky positions in the group do little to impress either, avoiding conventional band titles, they have taken on ‘kooky’ ones such as driver, tour manager and liberator instead of the more conventional and relevant vocalist, keys and drums etc, a pretentious move likely to annoy many true music fans who are growing tired of style over substance.
While the band may have style and a slight quirk that gives them something of an edge, musically they are dull, lyrically flat and altogether uninteresting. A lifeless set of guitar chords repeated ad nausea coupled with tedious hand-claps and a lazy excuse for a funk-drum beat make for a song that’s every bit as dull as this description makes it sound
Many music critics have been describing the band as an indie version of The Pussycat Dolls, due to their ‘quirky’ cartoonish nature, although if that is the case, give me the latter band any day.
