Django Django have curated a predictably eclectic collection for the latest edition of ‘Late Night Tales‘.
“We wanted to produce a mix that represented the band,” Dave MacLean explains. “It’s what we’re all into, so everyone put forward suggestions. It’s what we are as a band; and we’re kids that have grown up with an obsession about our mum and dad’s record collections, like ‘50s and 60s stuff and then got into hip hop and dance music as we grew up.”
Included is everything from Canned Heat and Primal Scream to a spoken word conclusion from the actor Benedict Cumberbatch. All will be released on May 12th.
“At the heart of it all is our parents’ collections, with our tastes mixed in,” MacLean concludes. “Our Late Night Tales pays homage to that.”
