May 5, 2015Born Under Saturn proves Django Django still has all their ducks in a row three years after their debut self-titled record. They’re still making music as well-suited to dance clubs as to solitary psychedelic journeying.
-
May 6, 2015Born Under Saturn sounds like what it probably is: a bunch of smart musicians having a great time.
-
May 5, 2015There’s joyous invention at work here, along with nagging hooks which bury themselves deeper with every play.
-
May 4, 2015Between its laid-back vocals, surf guitar and stomping percussion, Born Under Saturn makes a strong claim to being your ideal beach or road trip companion this summer.
-
May 4, 2015There are no outright clunkers in the mix, but a light trim would have further distilled the power of this excellent sophomore release.
-
May 4, 2015Born Under Saturn is a record so vivid it threatens to become visual.
-
Apr 30, 2015If there’s one criticism, it’s of its length--54 minutes feels like 10 too many for an album whose impact is doubled when the songs punch their way into your attention.

Q MagazineApr 29, 2015Such is the accessibility of the music here that its myriad stylistic zigzags don't jar, they simply thrill. [Jun 2015, p.104]
-
Apr 29, 2015Born Under Saturn carries on the energy from their debut perfectly. taking steps out into new territory cautiously, but with great reward. [Apr-May 2015, p.82]
-
Apr 29, 2015As Born Under Saturn reaches its final third, the level of consistency remains high, with tracks such as the expansive High Moon and the almost nonchalant Beginning To Fade both worth a mention.
-
MagnetJun 4, 2015A bit more expansive and widescreen, a bit more fleshed out and muscular, but essentially a companion piece to their debut. [No. 120, p.55]
-
May 15, 2015For a band consisting of four members, Born Under Saturn is both remarkably adventurous and eclectic.
-
May 11, 2015Born Under Saturn is an album of ambition, and while the gaffes certainly hold it back, there are enough good ideas crammed in throughout, making the album a worthy trip to a spacey dancehall.
-
May 1, 2015What remains is a definitively good album, albeit not a great one.
-
Apr 29, 2015It definitely ain’t perfect, then, but in concocting a scrubbed-up, carefully wrought maturation of their sound, Born Under Saturn gives us something close to Django Django unchained.
