Django Django "Django Django" (2012)

Django Django [debut]
release date: 2012
format: digital
[album rate: 2,5 / 5]
producer: Django Django
label: Because Music - nationality: England, UK

Studio debut album by Django Django. The album was nominated the British Mercury Prize in 2012, which was handed to Alt-J for An Awesome Wave. The music is founded on one big melting pot of styles and genres with jazz, funk, disco, electronic sub-genres, as well as reminiscences of world music. I don't appreciate it much and simply find it "a bit of a mess", or: I just don't get it. The album is for reasons unknown enlisted in "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".
