Django Django have posted their cover of The Monkees‘ ‘Porpoise Song’, check it out not far from here.
The cover is uploaded shortly before this month’s Record Store Day celebrations, when it will be released as a special 7″. The Django Django-curated ‘Late Night Tales‘ compilation then follows on May 12th.
“We wanted to produce a mix that represented the band,” Django Django’s Dave MacLean said. “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.”
“At the heart of it all is our parents’ collections, with our tastes mixed in. Our Late Night Tales pays homage to that.”
Also on ‘Late Night Tales’ are cuts from Canned Heat, The Beach Boys and Primal Scream, while there’s a spoken word conclusion from the actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
