  Featured Album: Glowing in the Dark
  Release Date: Feb 12, 2021

  Glowing in the Dark

  Django Django arrived fully-formed with an unmistakable sonic identity which earned them a Mercury nod in 2012. The group's sound is so pungent with their own unique splash of airy vocals, glitchy electronics and rustic grooves, it's sometimes hard to differentiate one track from the next. This is no bad thing if you're smitten with their sound - and fourth album 'Glowing In The Dark' embraces a more rustic approach favouring dusty synths and guitar...

The hangdog observations don't stop there as the desolation seeps into second...

  Featured Album: Who Am I?
  Release Date: Feb 12, 2021

  Who Am I?

  With influences including early '00s icons like Alanis Morissette and Michelle Branch, as well as the most obvious comparison Avril Lavigne -- who frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie has been repeatedly citing as a massive inspiration for this record -- the Manchester quartet's new sound is well executed and joyously expressive, but offers little unique. Third single "Easy" is a clear highlight and the biggest nod to their past work: a typically massive...
