“[Midnight Juggernauts] make their return in a flurry of celestial organs, spaceship beeping, alien communiques and other otherworldly type descriptions. Aghast at the idea of radio-editing their intergalactic masterpiece, they sent us the un-edited version and a B-side that should have been an A-side.” – Tim Chester, NME.com on ‘Vital Signs’

“Australian steamroller synth-rockers Midnight Juggernauts... [show] signs of being the heirs to Muse's epic prog throne, with similar anthemic potential.” – Ian Youngs, BBC

With their second album The Crystal Axis now only two weeks away from release, Midnight Juggernauts are thrilled to announce a national album launch tour.

With their latest single ’Vital Signs’ making the cut for the NME’s ’10 Tracks You Have To Hear This Week,’ Midnight Juggernauts are also gearing up for festival appearances at Lovebox (United Kingdom), Exit Festival (Serbia), Bennicassim (Spain), and Montreaux Jazz Festival (Switzerland).

Featuring 12 glittering tracks, including the singles ’Vital Signs’ and ’This New Technology’, 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 album will be available with a limited edition, seven track bonus disc.

Recorded at Sing Sing studios in Melbourne, The Crystal Axis was produced by Midnight Juggernauts and engineered by Chris Moore (TV on the Radio, Yeasayer, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars). The record provides the follow up to the trio’s successful debut album, Dystopia, which established them with audiences across the globe.
