MGMT New Album: Congratulations



MGMT will be releasing their new album Congratulations on April 13th. Unfortuanlty the album is already floating around on the internet due to a leak. So the psych-pop duo Andrew WanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser have gone ahead and posted the entire album as a free stream, and you don't have to fill anything out to listen to it.


The band has left a message on their site that states 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. The band is trying a new tatics on this release in which they will not release or promote any one song from the album. They are requesting that listeners and radio stations play the songs that jump out to them. From listening to this release it is not like their old stuff with the fun, electro-rock singles.This release is more of a psychedelic, space inspired CD.

I have also added a cover track by Jonsi from Sigur Ros who I think does an amazing job on covering "Time to Pretend" by MGMT.
