Apr 28, 2015 Django Django By Christopher Roberts

Django Django’s impressive sophomore album, Born Under Saturn, has 13 tracks and is nearly an hour long, so there’s been plenty of material to tease fans with prior to its release while easily avoiding showing the full monty. We’ve already had videos for “First Light” and “Beginning to Fade” and now the band has unreleased one for mid-album track “Reflections.” In it the British four-piece (Dave Maclean, Vinnie Neff, Jimmy Dixon, and Tommy Grace) are turned into abstract modern art sculptures.

The clip was filmed at the Framestore film studios, where Gravity was filmed, and was directed by Natalia Stuyk. In a press release she describes the video as “a futuristic and surreal take on the traditional performance music video.” The band were filmed performing and via Motion Capture and Face Shift technologies were transformed into the sculptures. The band had a hand in designing their own sculptures.

Born Under Saturn comes out next week via Ribbon Music, but you can stream the whole thing now via iTunes First Play.

Also be sure to pick Under the Radar‘s current print issue (the one with Tame Impala on the cover) to read an interview with Django Django about the creation of Born Under Saturn and how the studio they recorded it in may have been haunted. Also check our website later in the week for our review of the album.

Watch the video below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates, including shows in New York and Los Angeles.
