Django Django are an art college quartet who draw on an amiable British strain of psychedelia that you can detect in Syd Barrett, Simian and the Eighties children’s TV series Button Moon. The productions of drummer David Maclean (whose brother John did a similar job for the Beta Band) build from gently chugging guitar and shaky percussion, with gimcrack electronica and lysergic harmonies giving them the feel of homemade rockets. Their second album is a sturdier construction than their Mercury-nominated debut; Break the Glass and High Moon soon seep into your consciousness, while Found You and Shot Down hint at darker ambitions. Still, it’s a little one-paced and so the druggy haze feels more of a schtick than a way of being. Wig out guys! Hopefully one of them will get deep into ayahuasca or occult sex and they’ll launch deep into inner space soon.
