Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans is the debut studio album by French-American singer Uffie. It was 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 of The Rapture, includes an "adaptation" of The Velvet Underground's "Rock & Roll" and a cover of Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Hong Kong Garden",[2] which Uffie cited as one of her favorite songs.[3]

The album peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart and number 18 on the UK Dance Albums Chart. Although reviews for the album were mixed, it was included on year-end critics' lists by several publications[4][5][6][7][8] and was nominated at the 2011 French Victoires de la Musique for Best Electronic Album.[9]

In 2012 it was awarded a silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association which indicated sales of at least 20,000 copies throughout Europe.[10]

Since the release of the album, Uffie's music is said to have "had a lasting and widespread influence in the 2010s".[11]
