Although I was a pretty big fan of the Creaky Boards back in the day (up until they accused Coldplay of plagiarizing their jams, which got weird), I’m rather new to guitarist Darwin Deez‘s latest body of work.

The Napoleon Dynamite-esque band leader’s indie pop songs swirl just enough awkwardness over the top of cutie-pie hooks to  make them tolerably infectious. Case in point, “Radar Detector.”
