Born Under Saturn by Django Django
Jim Pinckney appraises a new album from art school alt-pop outfit Django Django.
Essentially they are a synth pop band with a wide focus that can encompass everything from a healthy dose of soft psychedelia to dancefloor tropes, often all within the same song.
When they do get all of the components right, and there are a few contenders for that, their fluid playing and meticulous arrangement skills allows for some engrossing musical gymnastics.
Songs featured: Vibrations, First Light, 4000 Years, High Moon, Shake & Tremble, Giant, Beginning To Fade, High Moon
