Three years after their double A-side single "Storm"/"Love's Dart" prompted claims that they were the saviors of the guitar band scene, London-based Edinburgh four-piece Django Django finally commit their quirky brand of intelligent art rock to a full-length album.
Recorded entirely in drummer/producer David Maclean’s bedroom with nothing but rickety gear, Django Django, a London-based group of former Edinburgh College of Art students, release a debut record that sounds more like a desert-borne jam.
