Django Django

Artist: Django Django
Album: Django Django
Label: Ribbon Music

A new powerhouse on the indie pop scene. Django Django’s self-titled debut features banging percussion and a variety of interesting synths and textures throughout. The entire album shines. Like Yeasayer, but chirpier. No FCCs.

Highlights: 2, 3, 8, 9
1.(2:13): Extraterrestrial swamp sounds joined by a heavy synth bass, whistling and humming. Fades into...
2.(4:04): Pulsating electrodrums and layered vocals with a grooving bass. This is a JAM!
3.(3:06): Bumpin bass, bubbling synth soundscapes and best of all, a chopped vocal chorus.
4.(4:50): Bluesy bass, clapped percussion, chanted lyrics. With an epic outro.
5.(4:27): Sweeping synths, conga drums and drawn out vocals. Loops on loops.
6.(5:19): You have gottogettoknowgottogettoknow this song! Repetitive and fun. Crazy sounds.
7.(2:36): Acoustic guitar and backing vocals. Very minimal.
8.(3:50): Rrrattle. Poppin beats and upright bass. Low key, but still makes you wanna move.
9.(4:32): Ominous opening. Sirens and snaps. Boom! Beats and bass. Definitely danceable.
10.(3:14): Metallic drums and echoed vocals build to instrumental breaks.
11.(3:06): Casual shakers and dissonant guitar lines. Great organ interlude. Unexpected structure.
12.(3:33): House with heavy middle-eastern influence. Instrumental.
13.(3:51): Sustained vocals and synths blended together. Glitchy at times. Lengthy instrumental break.
14.(6:25): Reprise/remix of #5. Heavier electronics. Club music. Instrumental.
15.(5:10): Reimagining of #2. Definite club jam.
16.(3:33): Remix of #12. Trippy and darker than the original.
17.(3:26): Remix of #3. Hardly any noticeable difference from the original.
