Django Django today share a music video for their current single, “Complete Me” feat. Self Esteem. The animated video takes inspiration from acid rave and 90s TV channel logo stings and was directed by the illustrator, Ed Croucher.
“Complete Me” feat. Self Esteem is an explosion of 90’s inspired breakbeat. Packed with organs, pianos and synth strings, the track makes Rebecca Lucy Taylor’s hooks completely irresistible, as if echoing from some familiar memory. A long associate of the band, Self Esteem released her first EP on Dave’s Kick + Clap label, appearing on 2018’s Marble Skies and supporting the Djangos on tour. The track was described by Clash as “a dazzling piece of synth pop”, while NME took notice of the “clubby piano, synth strings and keys.”
The track is taken from Off Planet, an album released in four parts, each as a separate “planet”, and available in full on 16th June 2023 via Because Music. Featuring a cavalcade of mainstream and underground stars – Self Esteem, Jack Peñate, Stealing Sheep, Toya Delazy and many more, all of them either friends of the band or personally sought out by Django Django co-founder and powerhouse Dave Maclean – Off Planet brings entirely new creative angles into play. From bluesy pop and Middle Eastern cabaret goth to Afro acid and piano rave, to call it kaleidoscopic is putting it mildly. Despite at times not sounding like anything on their previous releases, Off Planet is very much still recognisably Django Django and is the biggest, boldest, and most varied statement the band has ever made.
Off Planet Part 1 is available to stream now here.
