"Hey everybody, the album leaked, and we wanted you to be able to hear it from us. We wanted to offer it as a free download but that didn't make sense to anyone but us."
Aww.
So MGMT has their new and upcoming album leaked and they had the duo's "Congratulations" album as a full stream on their page along with that message and the hideous cover art. We're kinda still guessing it might be an inside joke of their's and that the record would be packed with something totally different.
The album is definitely more of that side that the previous record mostly was, Any references to "Kids" or the dancey and electroish hit stuff are gone, replaced with an ever changing psychpoppy epic re-enacting beachy nostalgia with bubbles, strawberries and cocktails.
Gotta say, I myself was extremely sceptical about the record especially when hearing the first single "Flash Delirium" but funny enough, it seems to be by far the worst song and still justifiable in it's place when the record is listened as a whole. So to say, it all seems to have gotten together pretty well.
No need to see even a glimpse of that cover art as you can give "Congratulations" a whirl right below.
