Good Music: Midnight Juggernauts

You might have heard one of Midnight Juggernauts’ mixes over the past year or so; That’s how I heard of them, and loved their sound enough to use their mix of Dragonette’s “I Get Around” in Dear Toronto #4 – The Atomic Cherries (NSFW). Like most electro artists, this is how they first came on to the scene, but now they’ve got an album of their own out.

Their aptly titled first album, Dystopia, made a stealthy release earlier this summer and I didn’t get a chance to check it out until just a few weeks ago. Turns out it’s full of some of the kind of music I love, especially when it comes to electro – too many times these groups put out instrumental tracks and while they might be technically superb, I find most tracks without any vocals really lacking something.

Tracks like Shadows (above) remind me a lot of the addictive beat from groups like Cut Copy, and others like Ending of an Era and Nine Lives have some spectacular moments (listen around 1:30).
