Today, MGMT released the album cover for their sophomore album entitled Congratulations. Instead of predict what the album will sound like (knowing that "It's definitely going to shock people" according to Andrew Vanwyngarden), let's just say it is probably going to be in line with the theme of this website/blog...the celebration of all things psychedelic. There is no question as to their devotion to the genre. Their major label debut, Oracular Spectacular, was recorded with The Flaming Lips' producer Dave Friddman. MGMT contributed to "Worm Mountain" on The Flaming Lips' 2009 album Embryonic. They have opened for/toured with Of Montreal, Asobi Seksu, Radiohead, Chairlift, Paul McCartney, and the list goes on...The upcoming album is co-produced by Pete Kember also known as Sonic Boom, his musical alias associated with bands Spacemen 3 and Spectrum and also a reference to the sound his guitar makes upon liftoff.
Pre-order the album here. Make sure to get the limited edition CD or vinyl LP with scratch-off front cover and custom metal coin. I hope it blows my mind. I have every reason to expect it to. Here are some cool tracks to keep you subdued until further sound exploration on April 13, 2010.
