MGMT to release Congratulations this week

When I caught MGMT live last year I commented that “with their sound being so closely associated with the summer of 2008 it would be interesting to see where the band go next“.

The much awaited follow up to ‘Oracular Spectacular‘ is finally landing this week and it will be interesting to see if ‘Congratulations‘ sound will be as closely linked to its release year.

First single ‘Flash Delirium‘ sounds like it has taken some of the eccentricities displayed on the band’s previous effort without losing the pop sensibilities.

The band will be touring across the UK this September including two dates at Brixton Academy.
