Django Django is 'Glowing' on next album

British band, Django Django, who I interviewed for its last album, has a new album called Glowing in the Dark due out Feb. 12 via Because Music.

Watch the video for the title track – “Glowing In The Dark” – here: https://youtu.be/JHlEkrsmxS4

NYC artist and illustrator Braulio Amado (Roisin Murphy) made the video at the height of lockdown, directing lead singer Vincent Neff remotely.

Neff explains:

"He gave me some loose directions of what he wanted me to do via email. Then me and my brother in law got a tripod, my phone and a speaker and went to a deserted industrial estate around the back of my house and shot a bunch of stuff then turned the footage over to Braulio. We love what he's done with it and how the energy and vibe of the visuals really lock with the track."

Says Amado on the video:

"I didn't want to be literal and do something *glowing in the dark*, so in my head the video is somewhat an abstract representation of the song title without being too obvious. I wanted it to feel organic, I wanted it to feel trippy, vibrant and colourful. This was done during the pandemic, with Vinny shooting himself on a greenscreen at home with his iphone, so I just wanted to take him out of the weird world and time we are all living through right now and transport him to a more fun place far away from here."

Elsewhere on the album, previous single “Spirals” has received remixes from MGMT and TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek. 

“Waking Up” is mainly acoustic with French legend Serge Gainsbourg’s daughter Charlotte on vocals. 

The album will be released on limited edition glow-in-the-dark vinyl, standard black vinyl, CD and digital download/streaming on all usual platforms. Pre-order the album
