Django Django - Django Django
-->
Life
was getting boring. All sandwiches started tasting the same. All dance music
started to sound like David Guetta. The drive to work was monotonous, one
traffic light after the next changing to red in unison. Then came Django
Django, a four-piece band from London by way of Edinburgh. They took all that
boring, shook it up and down like a bag of sonic confetti and poured it into
our ears. “Default,” one of the singles, is a beautiful mess of seemingly
clashing parts; ping-pong basslines, effortless harmonies, synthesizer swirlies
and beats so infectious it hurts. The rest of the album is just as puzzling and
addictive. From the Arabian nights synthesizers of “Skies Over Cairo” to the
ready-for-the-rodeo guitar twirls of “WOR” to the power pop mastery of “Hail
Bop,” Django Django is bringing back life in Technicolor.
