Django Django: Hand of Man on Nowness.com.
This past fall, Ribbon Music released Django Django's self-titled debut album -- a record that was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, included in Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly and WNYC's
best of 2012 lists, amongst many others, and continues to be picked up
for more and more radio play across the country. They've been on the
road since January when the album was initially released overseas,
selling out tours in the UK, Europe, and U.S., and now, a year later,
they are still going strong without any signs of slowing down. Currently
playing shows in Australia, they're headlining the upcoming NME Awards Tour throughout the UK in February and returning to the states for their most extensive North American tour in March.
The band has partnered up with Bafta Award winning director John Maclean, the brother of Django drummer/producer Dave Maclean, for the "Hand of Man" video. They are excited to present this beautifully shot, monochromatic masterpiece, premiered this morning on Nowness. John expands on the film:
"Filmed
on black and white super-8 stock. The end of great things. The party
was the last day in our friend's building which will inevitably be
knocked down to make way for more dodgy flats with tiny triangle
balconies - art, film and music studios destroyed to make way for
fast-buck housing developers pricing the working classes and the artists
out of central London. The end of film developers and Kodak film stock.
And the beginning of great things, Django Django, the spirit of youth,
integrity finding a way to live forever, and fresh bread."
