WHAT IT IS: With their sophomore LP, the U.K.-based indie-rock band, whose music is sometimes referred to as neo-psych, electronica and art rock, expands on the slippery, indefinable nature of their self-titled debut. The debut album had found itself on year-end lists ranging from Rolling Stone to Entertainment Weekly. Throughout the new record, Django Django continue to find magic in the unexplored spaces between musical genres, crisscrossing house beats with clarinets, rock hooks with reggae drum lines and more.
