Posted by Django Django have always sought to draw on the widest, most diverse palette possible.
The band’s hugely eclectic discography moves from psychotropic indie pop through to an all-out disco onslaught, touching on virtually every base in between.
New album ‘Glowing In The Dark’ lands on February 12th, and it’s an inspired return from the four-piece.
Lead single ‘Spirals’ was a divine moment, while other highlights include a guest spot from Charlotte Gainsbourg on the regal ‘Waking Up’.
Out next month, drummer and producer Dave MacLean trails the record in this exclusive mix for Clash.
Opening with a blast of French house from Mr Oizo, it’s a dexterous affair, moving from rare groove to Portishead, 80s electro to Carl Craig, Funkadelic guru George Clinton through to the life-affirming glory of Hercules & Love Affair.
