"Unabashedly geeky and seam-splittingly stuffed with retro-futuristic flourishes, it's an utterly delight. [Oct/Nov 2012, p.129]"

"Django Django confound because they sound gloriously, unpredictably new, but also recall past bands and sounds gone. [Feb 2012, p.98]"

Needless to say, my attention wentI first discovered Django Django 6 years ago with a friend who had "Life's a beach" on while studying. Needless to say, my attention went exactly to what was coming out of the computer speakers. With the release of their latest album, I decided to look back at their first. What a classic this has become. After 6 years this album sounds just as good as day one, if not better. From beginning to end, it just rolls into one good song after another. Such a unique sound that is like no other band I've been able to find. Sit back, relax, and let the music play. Just to warn you, it's addicting.… Expand

Its a really classy and original album with peppy songs filled with so many different sounds giving indie rock a whole new dimension. Hail bop has vocals which leads onto the trance territory and its melodic while being beat heavy. Default is fun and catchy. Storm has one of the best hooks I've heard in a long time.… Expand

You can play this in the background or you can crank it and sing along. Some of the lyrics may be silly but others are really resonant. Certainly in the running for album of the year.… Expand

All the tracks are well written, well produced and well constructed and its got a real summer vibe with a bit of a twist going on. Hard to compare this to anything in particular, but in essence its a quirky pop record - but the kind of pop that Beck would come up with.… Expand
