In robotic engineering and CGI, the Uncanny Valley is a hypothesis — coined by legendary roboticist Masahiro Mori in 1970: "I have noticed that, in climbing toward the goal of making robots appear human, our affinity for them increases until we come to a valley, which I call the uncanny valley."

The dark depths of this philosophical valley is a space the trio — Vincent Vendetta, Andrew Szekeres, Daniel Stricker — have long explored. Running traditional rock instruments (guitar, keyboards, drums) through samplers, pedals, patches, and assorted effects, they pervert the familiar into slightly-off forms; robotic sounds made by human hands, with the waft of unsettling horror-soundtracks keeping things forever on edge.

Since forming in Melbourne in 2004, the band have forged a unique path, pressing themselves firmly into the popular and unpopular consciousness, refusing to be bound by boundaries of genre, convention, or expectation. Uncanny Valley marks Midnight Juggernaut’s third full-length album, the resulting record is another LP that sounds uniquely Midnight Juggernauts. Uncanny Valley is 43 minutes of warm-hearted cold wave, interstellar harmonies, early 1950's house, steeped in the darkness of dusty Giallo soundtracks, audio spomeniks at once futuristic and rustic: a bold musical future envisaged through a soundtrack to a forgotten Eastern Bloc Tarkovsky film, sifting through the ruins of LPs past.
