Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans is the debut studio album by French-American singer Uffie, released on June 14, 2010 by Ed Banger Records and Because Music. Produced by Feadz, J-Mat, Mr. Oizo, Mirwais and SebastiAn, the album features guest appearances by Pharrell Williams and Mattie Safer from indie rock band The Rapture, and includes a cover of Siouxsie and the Banshees' 1978 song "Hong Kong Garden", which Uffie said was one of her favorite songs.
The album was ranked number 35 on Drowned in Sound's list of the best albums of 2010, and was also included on year-end lists by several other publications. It was also announced in 2011, that the album had been nominated at the French Victoires de la Musique for Best Electronic Album.
Uffie's record label Ed Banger Records first stated in late 2006 that her debut album would be released "mid-to-late 2007", then "sometime in 2008". Hectic traveling and touring schedules, her marriage and divorce, news of her pregnancy and growing as an artist delayed the release of the album. She stated that her new sound is very different with a much more mature sound and there would be more singing on the album than her previous EPs. She describes the album as "schizophrenic" and "worth the wait". On October 3, 2009, Busy P, founder and owner of Ed Banger Records, stated that Uffie's album had just been completed and was due out in spring 2010.Feadz, J-Mat, Mr. Oizo, Mirwais and SebastiAn served as producers on the album, while both Pharrell Williams and Mattie Safer from The Rapture made guest appearances.
