Midnight Juggernauts

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Midnight Juggernauts's new album Crystal Axis is out!! Oh my god, yes it is.. This album is on eternal repeat, I just can t get enough of it. This band comes from magical Australia. (what is it with that country, they all make groovy synth pop - Presets, Cut Copy,..) When their first album Dystopia came out in 2007, I was blissed. First three opening tracks were total hits. They introduced melodic synth pop-ish retro sound to symphonic rock. The new world is announced. the world where nostalgia and joy intertwine. the world of broken hearts and boogie woogie.
after their debut I thought: well, they can t overcome the grandiosity of the first album..fortunately,they surprised me. This album is even BETTER. every track is a unit of its own. Magnificent Vital Signs opens its door to this wealth of pop,



Lifeblood Now is red carpet leading to the castle of pop kingdom, New Technology is the grand dinner table where the pop deserts are served,


while the Great Beyond is the king and king's throne (or queen and queen's) !!



The best of all, I will see them live at the EXIT festival. Counting the dayssssssssssss tik tak tik tak..........
