Django Django : 'Wor'/'Skies Over Cairo'

Django Django : 'Wor'/'Skies Over Cairo'

 

Released: Out Now!!!


 

Moody and nostalgic yet brilliantly fun, 'Wor' is another impressive effort from Django Django.

Moving from lonesome kettle drums to a clean, sixties inspired riff, it seems the band might be writing the theme to a spy film. Full of twists and turns, it pulses with rapid dynamic changes, snappy rhythms and sirens abound. Amidst the cacophony of experimentation, a catchy, harmonised vocal melody completes the foot tapping ensemble with aplomb.

Instrumental B-side 'Skies Over Cairo' packs yet more flavour into a seemingly simple track. As to be expected, Egyptian influences flirt with electro beats and eerie pulses. Building in stature, it becomes a multi-textural affair before fading to a quietened departure.

Although straightforward in premise, these two tracks prove a great insight into their architects; Scratch the surface, and there is a lot more going on amidst the nostalgic themes. For all the sirens and electronic oddities, Django Django know how to write very accomplished songs.
