Django Django: Django Django – review

If the Beach Boys wrote the score for a spaghetti western set in a 50s vision of the future, it might sound something like this buoyant debut album by London-dwelling art-school graduates Django Django. Borderline silly at times, it is nonetheless a carefully crafted piece of work with a distinctive sound. Incongruous influences and production techniques are brought into harmony with seeming ease on upbeat numbers such as "Hail Bop". But after a while the band's mannerisms – stylised vocals, cut-up rhythms, outer-space sound effects – begin to overflow and you fear they have become trapped in their own ingenuity.
