The Crystal Axis

"This may very well be the Midnight JuggernautsDark Side Of The Moon" - SUP Magazine

"It's a melodic, borderline hypnotic trip that conjures everything from low-tech horror sounds, tribal beats, and the '70s-era atmospherics of Frank Zappa and The Doors." - Interview Magazine

"Electropop is their native genre, a pretty woolly term born out of the 80s to describe a form of synthpop often classified as cold and robotic. But pack up your horror―pulsating with Brian Eno reverie and other meaty 70s prog-rock influences, these soundscape warriors have crafted a mammoth of a sophomore album " - Anthem Magazine

"Knotty arrangements of alternately poppy and moody tunes suggest Pink Floyd gone new wave; chugging guitars skank around gloriously garish mellotron choirs and cosmic Moog ooze." - SPIN

"Midnight Juggernauts continues to push the boundaries of sound with their layered synthesizers, looping melodies, and the general sense that they went to guitar class in outer space." - NYLON

"The whole thing could be the soundtrack to a reimagining of Flash Gordon, knowingly kitsch but impressively singular of vision." - BBC Music

"Cosmically synthetic, subversively euphoric" - The New York Times

"Taking advantage of the creative license they have given themselves, for The Crystal Axis, the Juggernauts take a small step away from the vocoder-ed robotics of Dystopia. In it's place are percussive orchestrations and cinematic textures... (The Crystal Axis) doesn't all take place in a distant galaxy, however, as the dial shifts to AM and the decade rolls back four times to the 70's" - SOMA Magazine
