With the LP set to release next Tuesday, the Darwin-led outfit is giving us the chance to stream the whole thing prior to its release. Listen to all ten tracks from the "rockier and wordier" album below, and hit the jump to read a track-by-track guide written by Darwin Deez himself.

[Listen] Darwin Deez - "Free (The Editorial Me)" (Official Video)

That feel good music of Darwin Deez is back today with a fuzzy bang. Following the announcement of his new single last week tonight, Zane Lowe on Radio One, had the pleasure of debuting "Free (Editorial Me)" and shortly after Deez himself took to the web to unleash the video. It shows him having a little (a lot) of déjà vu in his job at a store of sorts. We've all surely had this feeling in our daily jobs so it's an entertaining watch I only wish some days I could break free like this. The heavy bass-line also kind of reminds me of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World a little too...

Songs For Imaginative People set for release next year on the 11th of February.

[News] Darwin Deez Announces New Album: 'Songs For Imaginative People'

Remember Darwin Deez? Of course you do. Well he's just announced a follow up to his self titled with Songs For Imaginative People set for release next February on the 11th. Prior to that he'll release a track titled "Free (The Editorial Me)" next week before his shows at London XOYO on Nov. 28th.

Peep the artwork above and the track listing below. Apparently the album is "a bit of a departure. It’s definitely rockier and wordier. It’s really cool - some of the same things which made the first album great are in this record." I for one am pretty excited to hear it.

[Listen] Alex Winston - "Velvet Elvis" (Darwin Deez Kill The Bitch Edit)

When Darwin Deez launched his Wonky Beats mixtape I was impressed to hear the hapy go lucky pop making dude had gone all crude and was rapping about all kinds of crazy topics. Disco Naivete has now pointed me towards a new jam he's reworked Alex Winston’s track "Velvet Elvis" and rapped his guts out all over the place. A great listen for the old Humpday. The weekend is on the horizon. Stay strong!

[Download] Darwin Deez - "Radar Detector" (The Loving Hand Remix)

A nice feel good track for your Friday Morning/Afternoon depending on your location in the world. He has funky hair and certainly knows how to throw some shapes in synchronisation with his band mates, it's Darwin Deez. Today courtesy of RCRD LBL you can check out a remix from The Loving Hand of his possibly most notable track, "Radar Detector". A good one for those nights sat around with friends with a brew or two and some over cooked meat on the BBQ. Delicious.

[Watch] Darwin Deez - "Lights On" (Home Video)

That loveable, curly haired beat maker and unusual guitar stringed player Darwin Deez has posted up a cool video of the track "Lights On" which features a video of them performing at T In The Park last summer. To be precise it shows a sped up clip of their set from the point of view of centre stage behind the drum kit. It's a nice insight to see what it looks like for a band who are loved on the festival circuit and you also get to see some of the guys' crazy dance routines in uber sped up mode! Check it out above.
