Okay remember how we were talking about Bucks Fizz’s Land Of Make Believe a few weeks ago? The latest Midnight Juggernauts single does a fine job of reinterpreting the synth pop freakiness of Land Of Make Believe for the modern era, in a way that makes it at least vaguely plausible that it was written by a band from ye olde era, albeit a slightly cooler band than Bucks Fizz. The tantalisingly real retro aesthetic of Ballad Of The War Machine has caused a bit of confusion on the internet, prompting one savvy Muscovite to comment that it is “obveusly dumb austrlians trying 2 b Russian.” (Good work, guy, you got ‘em.) As far as silly, warbling electro pop goes, this is pretty delightful.
