Nowness.com presents a purrlicious video for Australia's very own Midnight Juggernauts' "Systematic" directed by French duo Mrzyk & Moriceau.
If you are a dog person, look away, as an oddball troupe of cats strut to the sound of Midnight Juggernauts’ “Systematic.” Taken from the Melbourne band’s third album Uncanny Valley, the track gets its musical cues from the stardust-sprinkled harmonies of Electric Light Orchestra, providing a driving backing to this bizarre collection of furry friends.
French director duo Mrzyk & Moriceau recently made an explosive phallic fantasy for Parisian electronic act Jackson & His Computerband, and have carried their signature hyper-pop stylings to today’s Division-produced romp. “They had an idea to throw dozens of cats around and we were curious to see how they could do that without offending animal cruelty groups,” says the band’s keyboardist Vincent Vendetta. “My initial reaction to the video was to laugh throughout—and obviously no animals were harmed.” Midnight Juggernauts are fresh from touring their native Australia—a jaunt that featured a trip through the crocodile country of Darwin and a marriage proposal on stage in Sydney—and plan to visit Europe early next year. In the meantime the three will attend to their corresponding pets. “Dan [Stricker] has a rabbit and Andy [Szekeres] has a sausage dog,” says Vendetta. “I have a cat that I think inspired one of the animals in the video; I bought him a mini drum kit, which I make him play when I’m lonely.”
We've been fans of Midnight Juggernauts for awhile now and are pleased to present "Systematic" below!
