The Django Black Ensemble

Demo

Play 90 second soundbite of 'Ghosts Of Rock N Roll' @ 'CD quality'

What this demo lacks in recording quality it makes up for in energy and pace. Curiously named, The Django Black Ensemble, have put down three interesting tracks here; 'Coastal Concert', 'Glimmer Cross' and 'Ghosts Of Rock N Roll'. Raw and lacking any real production, the recording does have something of a live feel to it. That said, the tracks show great potential; I can easily imagine these works, given time, commitment and of course that more difficult of commodities, money, would really come alive and showcase this outfit and their true abilities. That's all that's missing though - production.

The Django Black Ensemble seem to have favoured the pacier side of (indie) rock n roll. These works generally fly along. There's a very fresh feel to their style and they're extremely tight and play with a very natural feel. The Django's use of high paced, incessant rhythms results in a very catchy overall effect. The songs are well crafted with guitar and vocal combining beautifully on the melody lines and choruses. Good use of tempo change and subtle light and shade keep things interesting and give them a pretty unique feel. There's no doubt that The Django Black Ensemble have settled nicely into a groove that is sufficiently different to set them apart from most of their contemporaries. It's a great sound that'll get mosh pits heaving with bodies.

Judging from these three short tracks The Django Black Ensemble have found a formula that's just that bit removed from the norm - and I reiterate, what this demo lacks in polish it makes up for in originality of style. This demo will open a few doors, of that I'm confident - if it were to be re-recorded with a top production it would fly through so many more doors and earn The Django Black Ensemble much wider acclaim.
