Marble Skies

Django Django, a London four-piece often decked out in matching sci-fi T-shirts like a krautrock beach volleyball team, are masters of merging flesh and diode. Earlier albums have sounded like a bunch of twitchy cyborgs playing rootsy rock’n’roll tunes, or a load of ’50s Link Wray licks and ’90s Beta Band albums uploaded onto a malfunctioning streaming service. There is something immediately likeable about Marble Skies, the third record from British group Django Django. From the first chirping note of the title track, which launches the album, there’s an upbeat sense of positivity.
