The 10th anniversary edition of Django Django’s self-titled debut LP has been released digitally today – revisit Live4ever’s review and stream the album right here.
“Roll back a decade and things seemed to be kind of doing OK.”
“Post the indie landfill time of the noughties, a clutch of bands like alt-J, Metronomy and Everything Everything emerged who had less reliance on the trad dynamics of Britpop and instead mangled guitars with bedroom electronica, psychedelic experimentation and an awkwardly danceable charm. Things were…better.”
“The members of Django Django met at Edinburgh Art College and eventually moved to London, releasing their eponymous debut album in 2012 to a glowingly positive reception even they were surprised by.”
“Guided by their in-house loop guru Dave Maclean, it was greeted with a stack of good press and a Mercury Prize nomination along with a healthy position in the album charts when these things just about still mattered.”
