Django Django is a British indie rock band that was founded in 2009 in London. The band consists of David Maclean on drums and production, Vincent Neff on vocals and guitar, Jimmy Dixon on bass, and Tommy Grace on synths.

With their unique blend of indie rock, electronic music, and psychedelic pop, Django Django has gained a loyal following since their formation. Their catchy melodies, intricate rhythms, and experimental soundscapes have earned them critical acclaim and a reputation for pushing boundaries within the music industry.

Known for their energetic live performances and infectious stage presence, Django Django has captivated audiences around the world. They have released several successful albums including their self-titled debut album in 2012 which received widespread praise. Their music continues to evolve with each release as they explore new sonic territories while staying true to their distinctive style.

After their 2012 Mercury Prize nominated debut and 2015’s Top 20 follow-up Born Under Saturn, musical adventurers Django Django are back for 2018, exploring new sounds with their brand new album Marble Skies. After the brilliant, rave-shaped grooves and expansive arrangements of its predecessor, Marble Skies is a more concise and focused offering which recalls the dynamic, genre-blurring music of their debut. It’s a return to form; an album which finds them returning to the handmade, cut-and-paste approach of the past. Upon finishing the Born To Saturn tour, Dave ventured to LA to work on a production project, whilst the other band members went to India with the British Council. When they returned, the new album process began with a back-to-basics approach which recalled the DIY ethos of the band’s early days, Django Django – minus an absent Maclean – assembled at Urchin Studios in Tottenham, London with Metronomy drummer Anna Prior to experiment with the idea of coming up with new tracks through loose jamming sessions. After ten days of recording, there was plenty of raw material. As ever, all four band members (completed by Tommy Grace on synths and bassist Jimmy Dixon) contributed to the band’s music, melodies and lyrics as the final album took shape. Parts of Marble Skies find Django Django sailing into uncharted territories, not least the driving title track (propelled by Prior’s drumming), with its echoes of Krautrock and Suicide. Meanwhile, the hazy Zombies-like summer pop of Champagne, which explores the joys and ills of alcohol, was inspired by the band’s over-indulgence during a boat trip on the Seine that was hosted by their label. Those drawn to the more dance-orientated side of Django Django will find much to love in the twisted ‘80s electro pop of In Your Beat and the dancehall-influenced Surface To Air, a dreamy-headed pop song fronted by Rebecca Taylor of Slow Club. The collaboration came as a result of the two bands meeting up at SXSW some years ago, where Rebecca and Dave in particular bonded over shared interests in R&amp;B, hip-hop and dancehall. Another more surprising collaborator is Jan Hammer, the Czech-born, American-based jazz-fusion and electronic artist who shares writing credits with the band on the gorgeously floaty ‘Sundials’. If there’s a mood running through Marble Skies, it’s one of reflection on things past and present, and finding some kind of peace with your place in the grand scheme of things.
