Album Review: Django Django Rocket Through Marble Skies
Django Django ’s new album, Marble Skies, feels like you have decided to take a spaceship through CandyLand. It is quick, sugary, and even its “darker themes” feel as bad as a candy cane smashing into pieces. The happy freneticism of the record may be surprising considering it is all about finding peace.
When someone tells you, “I am calming down, and finding serenity with myself”, you do not expect them to then join the circus. Django Django’s Marble Skies feels like “pixie-peace”; your inner harmony has broken into and eaten an entire cookie jar. Yet, matching the idea of individual tranquility with a surge of cosmic joy makes sense. There is something incredibly celebratory and quietly loud about being a person that has connected with your humanity and thus your universality. For Django Django, Marble Skies shows reflecting on your past and present reveals the grander schemes of your life and thus your future.
Django Django – In Your Beat (Official Music Video)
Now, Django Django are not becoming fortune tellers, but when you start to witness the common threads between your past and present, you start to see how you can enter the future more brightly. Self-reflection is nothing without outer-extension, which is why beneath electro-pop jams like, “In Your Beat”, “Surface To Air”, and “Real Gone”, are bursts of sentimentality. Every track is arranged to have an 80’s synth-wave and a tribal, bouncing base to symbolize how we are all drops of water looking for our ocean. In others words, every individual is simply trying to find a sense of community within this world, and, in looking at who you are, you give yourself the chance to see where you are going. Thus, what was, initially, a “diary-esque” album on self-journeys becomes a dance audiobook on how to have one; with Vincent Neff as your narrator.
Django Django – Tic Tac Toe (Official Music Video)
Vincent Neff’s voice soars and swims through the syrupy “Fountains” and the crackling “Tic-Tac-Toe”. No pace can outdo is splashy vocals that you can hear again and again, which is a perfect attraction. Marble Skies is Django Django’s most personal album, which makes it essential that Neff’s vocals are so artistically attractive. He helps you go from a dancing first-listen to a pensive fifth-one, guiding you from a physical approach to a sentimental one of this record.
