Mar 23, 2012This record is a nice piece of off centre pop. All the tracks are well written, well produced and well constructed and its got a real summer vibe with a bit of a twist going on. Hard to compare this to anything in particular, but in essence its a quirky pop record - but the kind of pop that Beck would come up with.

Oct 28, 2012I love this album for great tracks like Hand of Man, Love's Dart, Storm and others (possibly all of them, really) and I love the way the whole thing hangs together. You can play this in the background or you can crank it and sing along. Some of the lyrics may be silly but others are really resonant. Certainly in the running for album of the year.

Apr 3, 2012Extremely catchy and well-crafted, particularly impressive considering it's their first album. To compare them to other artists, I'd say they combine the indie dance-pop of MGMT with the vocals of The Beta Band.

Dec 22, 2012One thing you can assuredly say about Django Django is that they are unique. Its a really classy and original album with peppy songs filled with so many different sounds giving indie rock a whole new dimension. Hail bop has vocals which leads onto the trance territory and its melodic while being beat heavy. Default is fun and catchy. Storm has one of the best hooks I've heard in a long time.

Jun 25, 2012Genius album. Instant classic. Resembles Devo (obviously), Talking heads, The Feelies' Crazy Rhythms. These guys are the "tlaking heads" of this century!

Oct 9, 2012It's not often that I love an album right away and play it over and over. I wish I could comment on Pitchfork's less than stellar 7.2 rating. Obviously, Pitchfork needs some better critics.

Aug 10, 2018i first heard Hail Bop while playing FIFA 12 and i immediately fell in love. Default is still my favourite song.

Jan 29, 2013Django Django is an infectious, pretentious, mess of a disc that's high moments far outweigh the mundane ones.

Under The RadarNov 30, 2012Unabashedly geeky and seam-splittingly stuffed with retro-futuristic flourishes, it's an utterly delight. [Oct/Nov 2012, p.129]

Nov 21, 2012Sometimes Django Django's ingredients cohere into an actual song, but a lot of the Scottish quartet's self-titled debut album is frustratingly sketchy.
