Midnight Juggernauts are to release their second offering “The Crystal Axis” on May 28 on Siberia Records, which is the label run by the band themselves, allowing them all forms of creative control, which can be daunting to most, but it seems to be working out really well for the melbourne band!
Featuring 12 tracks sparkling with a new kind of kaleidoscopic warped pop, including the bands first single ’This New Technology,’ which we have all heard by now, and ‘Vital Signs, the brand new track they have passed to us to share with you!.
The Crystal Axis is a 50-minute symphony of synth-rock invention. Veering from percussive, hypnotic grooves to luxuriant jams, walls of sound, and 70s AM melodic forks
The band wanted the 5 and a half minute version of “Vital Signs” to be the definitive version, not a radio edit – so they’ve decided to give it away, along with a B-Side called “Get Connected” which was written and recorded while creating the album in a house in the middle of nowhere by the beach, before venturing to the studio.
The follow up album was recorded between an isolated house in coastal Australia, and in their own studio this winter in Melbourne – and pretty much like their first sonic offering to the universe ‘The Crystal Axis’ was produced by the band themselves and engineered by Chris Moore (TV on the Radio, Yeasayer, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars) after returning from their whirlwind worldwide tour in 2008.
Both “Vital Signs” and the b-side ”Get Connected” are glorious tracks they have offered to us and for you to enjoy.
Watch the amazing video collaboration between Midnight Juggernauts and KROZM below. The artwork and video concept was from the band themselves and the video was eventually directed by video legends in the making, KROZM.
