Northern Transmissions
Across 13 tracks Django Django have carved out a wonderful odyssey, where the sonic terrains and landscapes come with a tangible feel. It’s this palpable sense of motion and dexterity that gives ‘Glow In The Dark’ an intrepid air, one of excitement but also one that comes with a pensive feeling of anxiety

Django Django, like Hot Chip, like Metronomy, are a pop band. A psychedelic, clever, festival-friendly one, but a pop band nonetheless, and it’s this which set them apart at the beginning and this which will continue to give them longevity

It’s three years since Django Django released their third album, Marble Skies, a decent album in its own right, but I’m delighted to say that the band seems to have used the interim time to craft a set of songs that sees them right on the top of their game. Great stuff

Django Django’s style is well-worn by now, and a little more stylistic or structural invention wouldn’t go amiss, but Glowing In The Dark still delivers the goods with ease

Beats Per Minute
Somewhat of a return to form, the album sounds like warm summer nights and white wine, 90s videogames and 00s Beck; there’s a lot here that contradicts the still-ongoing mood of lockdown fatigue
