E-FING YEAH! MGMT NEW ALBUM!

We can officially get excited about MGMT’s next album. I mean their last one, Congratulations, came out three years ago and was less than impressive.

One song was super rad but the rest of it was all over the place and just bored me to death.

They had great collaborators like Flaming Lips and all, but it sounded like too many hands handling drowned their unique sound.

“People thought we took too many drugs, which was not the case at all,” insists Goldwasser, taking a seat on a studio couch. Adds VanWyngarden, “We were less naive after Congratulations.”

Hopefully this time around they DID do too many drugs and the outcome is one awesome album. Learn from your mistakes dudes!

According to the article on Rolling Stone, MGMT are getting even weirder on their follow-up, tentatively due out in June.

Instead of using their live band, as they did on Congratulations, the core duo recorded alone, cherry-picking the best parts of their free-form jams to construct tracks that reflect the Aphex Twin and house records they’ve been listening to lately. Says Goldwasser, “We’re not trying to make music that everyone understands the first time they hear it.”

That sounds vague, but intriguing, I’ll deffo give it a listen.
