Midnight Juggernauts reveal their new single ‘Ballad of the War Machine’. ‘Ballad of the War Machine’ is the first single taken from the trio’s forthcoming album, set for release in mid 2013 via Siberia Records / Remote Control.
Catch Midnight Juggernauts launch ‘Ballad of the War Machine’ at The Zoo in Brisbane on Friday 19 April, Oxford Art Factory in Sydney on Saturday 20 April, and The Corner Hotel in Melbourne on Wednesday 24 April.
Since forming in Melbourne in 2004, Midnight Juggernauts have forged a unique path, pressing themselves firmly into the popular or perplexed consciousness, refusing to be bound by boundaries of genre, convention, or expectation. Eschewing an easy parochial path, Midnight Juggernauts have instead been international; taking their psychedelic Soviet-sci-fi pop to listeners near and far, around the corner and around the globe.
‘Ballad of the War Machine’ marks the band’s long-awaited return, their first output for three years following their previous albums Dystopia and The Crystal Axis.
After touring long and hard from Brisbane to Barcelona, Berlin, Bogotá, and beyond — the trio took ‘time off’, which really equated to throwing themselves into all manner of esoteric adventures, oddball one-offs, inspired shindigs, and ambitious undertakings. This is the first taste of Midnight Juggernauts return journey, once again piloting their glittery kosmische musik far into known cosmos and unknown genre.
