Today, Django Django release “Year of the Snake,” the fourth single to be taken from their forthcoming album Doveland - out November 6 via Clouds Hill (pre-order here). The quartet also announce a UK and European headline tour for February/March 2027 (full details below). Pre-sale launches on Wednesday 21st with a general sale to follow on Friday 23rd.
Around the release of the album the band will play four intimate shows in independent record stores in London, Edinburgh, Liverpool, and Bury.
Playing with rhythm and atmospherics “Year of the Snake” slithers a winding path. Sweeping strings ornament a moody groove, atop which vocalist Vincent Neff ruminates on acceptance and perseverance.
As Dave explains: “Year of the snake was written after the majority of Doveland was done and me and Vinny decided to head up to the highlands of Scotland to keep writing. It’s a personal track that came out of losing my sister and trying to battle through darkness to find light. It’s about embracing that darkness and embracing the night and staying strong enough to ride it out until the new dawn comes.”
It follows the previously released singles “Feel Alright,” "Dirty Hotel Blues" and "Cameos," offering another glimpse into an album that moves between the personal and the surreal, with the band drawing on themes of memory, isolation, loss and the search for somewhere else.
Doveland was produced during extended sessions in the German countryside and highlands of Scotland, and marks Django Django's most cohesive and emotionally resonant album to date.
The album takes its title from an online urban myth of a supposedly vanished midwest town called Doveland. Some believe they once lived there and even possess souvenirs as proof, yet Doveland appears on no maps. Explanations range from sinkholes to military experiments to collective amnesia. Most likely, the town never existed at all. While the mysterious settlement is not the direct subject of the album, the idea of searching for an impossible place became the catalyst for the record.
These 12 tracks are also grounded in the lives of those who wrote them, in some of their most challenging experiences. During the years working on Doveland, Maclean lost his older sister, and Dixon lost his father.
A band celebrated for their boundless invention and a curiosity that has defined them since their Mercury Prize-nominated debut, Django Django have spent more than a decade pushing their sound into unexpected territory. With Doveland, they channel that adventurousness into their most focused statement yet. Dave Mclean offers; “It’s taken me until the age of 46 for us to make a ‘grown-up’ record.
