Midnight Juggernauts!
Although ‘Dystopia’ wears its influences proudly on its mirror ball colored sleeve, it is still a great sounding beast in its own right. It is track after track of insanely catchy songwriting, irresistible sounding bass and punchy drums littered with dreamy electronic synths sounds and hook-laden vocals, some of which would not be out of place in an 80’s skating rink, still it’s not a 100% jump, rave & dance record! The Juggernauts cleverly give you a chance to catch your breath with the darkly hypnotic Worlds Converged, featuring choir-style harmonies and Dave Gahan low growl. An ambient and cinematic speed hump comes with the acoustically anchored title track “Dystopia”, which is flavored with a generous dash of French Noir. It’s like “We like Air a lot so we flogged this song from their laptop while they were off buying croissants and made it ours”!

DL: Midnight Juggernauts - Dystopia
*It’s the perfect marriage of Air and Daft Punk, fronted by Bowie. Their antithetical Utopia is set in another galaxy, but instead of the generally "negative and undesirable societies” usually described as a dystopia, the feel good nature of these songs makes it one hell of a happy place to be.
