Australian rock bands heart psychedelia 4 eva!

It seems that these days all you have to do is give an Australian band a moonscape, some geometric shapes, an obtuse lyric and a guitar and you've got a recipe for your next album. Call it the Wolfmother effect, call it too much far out music in Tame Impala's parent's record collection or call it Wolf & Cub. Whatever it is, your local A&R department is lovin it!

Back in early 2007, while The Presets were preparing to knock the socks of electronic music in Australia, Midnight Juggernauts released (what I reckon is) one of the best Australian Albums of the last decade. Dystopia was a bloggers wet dream, a ravers wet dream and rockers wet dream rolled into one. Big dance beats, soaring synths, heavy fuzzy bass and anthemic chorus' every song. Man, it made my year! It also propelled North Melbourne's favourite locals to worldwide acclaim.

Well, we haven't heard much from them in the interim until now. Here's the first taste of the next Juggers album. The single is called "This New Technology", and it features some absolutely stunning Kaleidoscopic imagery. Seriously, the more I watch it, the more I'm entranced... it's really quite beautiful.

It's the sort of clip that when turned up, combined with the Jugger's trademark arpeggiated synths, baritone vocals and hooks makes their fans just wanna wigg out! It's psychadelic to the max and it'll leave the aforementioned A&R departments a little short of an idea for their next clip...

AIR has it on good authority that the next Juggernauts album is "psychadelic rock the whole way through" and if the unexpected last minute of this song are anything to go by, with the beatlesque harmonies over a half time breakdown and retro-space synths I reckon we're in for a pretty cool trip when the album arrives.
