Most people will recognize MGMT for three singles: “Time to Pretend”, “Electric Feel” and “Kids”. These trifecta of festival anthems were Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser’s attempt at writing the poppiest songs possible with the goal of selling out. And much to their surprise, it worked! But those three tracks were made to mock modern-day pop music; they weren’t a great representation of what the band wanted to be known for, despite how much success it would garner the group. Victims of their own irony, what initially began as a joke would go on to overshadow the majority of their subsequent work.
Following their debut, the pair would vow to never make another radio-friendly hit -- instead veering into neo-psychedelic experimentation. Five years and two critically-panned releases later, fairweather fans would jump off the bandwagon. Congratulations was a prog-rock jab at mainstream music and their self-titled release was an even more dense acid-rock affair. But their latest offering seems to have ended their Little Dark Age. Their fourth record would be the band’s reset button and a welcomed return to what MGMT does best -- having fun with their music again.

Little Dark Age is such a great album

"When you die" is such a master piece, it sounds like the Beatles

The funniest thing about MGMT is that when making Time To Pretend, they we're trying to think of the poppiest song ever and thought "Ah, Dancing Queen". So they made Time To Pretend the same bpm as Dancing Queen and what's more, at the end of the song, if you listen closely you can even hear the classic Dancing Queen ascending piano fill. I never recognized it until I heard them talk about it in the Song Exploder podcast

Honestly MGMT’s self titled is very underrated. It has some amazing music in it and some of their best lyrics

I know it seems slightly irrelevant when discussing MGMT's increase in confidence as a band, but I still believe it's worth noting the fact that Little Dark Age also recieved a bit more mainstream acclaim than their last album due to the track 'Little Dark Age' becoming a popular TikTok audio. While it didn't completely launch the band into the spotlight again, it still gave the band just enough popularity for a bit that I feel like it should be at least addressed.

These guys still fuel the psychedelic desires of modern society.

"Congratulations" is so good! "Siberian Breaks" 👌.

Little Dark Age is about 4 years old Is there a new LP from MGMT label??? During pandemic they should have streamed a performance like many artists have already done. I still remember the Amazing live gig from Letterman Ed Sullivan Theater 😜💙❤️👍👍

Congratulations isn’t badly received, is it? It’s my all-time favorite album and I’m definitely not the only one. Admittedly I’m much more into the psychedelic side of their catalog than any of their pop tracks.

Hand It Over could be a double entendre. The song is about MGMT’s record label, taking “what’s rightfully theirs” but it’s also about accepting your own mortality, hence, “handing it over,” adding to the recurring themes of death in the album

Guess they burned the page on their Little Dark Age
