MGMT's sophomore album is on the way and here is the first released track from Congratulations. Flash Delirium is not the same anthemic synth pop of Oracular Spectacular. Flash Delirium, while not bad by any means, sees MGMT trying to strut around like the Beatles - to mixed results. Still interesting, not classic. Enjoy the awesome weather this weekend.

MGMT:n ensi kuussa ilmestyvä Congratulations -levy on vuotanut nettiin. Tämän johdosta yhtye streamaa levyä parhaillaan omilla verkkosivuillaan. Parin kuuntelukerran perusteella kokonaisuus kuulostaa erittäin lupaavalta ja sopivan vinksahtaneelta.]]> text/html 2010-03-21T05:22:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2419017/new-mgmt-album-streaming/
New MGMT Album streaming The new MGMT album, "Congratulations", is now streaming on their website .]]> text/html 2010-03-21T02:31:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2418907/jnsi-time-to-pretend-mgmt-cover/
I'm always interested when a musical artist covers another, especially if they are both different genres and the artist covering it adds their own 'signature' to it. It's an artist's way of celebrating a song that they like. If the end result is good, then both of the artist's fan loves it. I haven't really heard any horrible covers though. Just today Jónsi posted streams of his BBC Radio 1 live lounge performances and interview on his website. For one of the live performances he sang a dazzling piano rendition of "Time To Pretend" by MGMT.

MGMT's new album, "Congratulations", is an experiment in trying to come to grips with the success the band found with the million-selling "Oracular Spectacular"; an experiment that sounds nothing like its predecessor.]]> text/html 2010-03-21T02:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2418893/congratulations/
Here you can listen to MGMT's new album. We honestly found Congratulations quiet good. As Goldwasser once said, there is no outstanding songs meant to be big hits like Time To Pretend. Fortunately, maybe? It's almost a difficult task to choose only one to post here. Still, we have opted for Song for Dan Treacy. You'll certainly like it. Congratulation's official release is due to April 13th. Aqui está Congratulations, o novo álbum do MGMT .

Normally, when a band makes an album and it leaks online, they have a tendency to get upset. The label rushes to change the release date earlier so people will still go and buy the record and the band gets cheated out of money they could have made due to people downloading it illegally. It's not fun for any band. Then you have the case of indie-rockers MGMT. Their new album, Congratulations, which isn't hitting record stores until April 13th and is one of the more hyped up albums of the year.

Die für den 13. April angesagte neue MGMT-Platte "Congratulations" ist geleaked. Als Reaktion darauf wird sie nun offiziell auf der Band-Webseite als Stream angeboten. Die Ereignisse scheinen sich überschlagen zu haben. Nachdem vom 19. auf den 20.

You can now stream the entire MGMT album, 'Congratulations', over at their website WHOISMGMT.com. Apparently the album leaked so they decided to officially put it out to stream: "Hey everybody, the album leaked, and we wanted you to be able to hear it from us.

Covers every which way! Jónsi stepped into the BBC studios earlier today and recorded his original song "Go Do" off his forthcoming solo debut Go along with a cover of MGMT's "Time To Pretend".  As is typical for Jónsi, it's gorgeous. The biggest surprise here is the song selection. I guess Jónsi listens to everything! Check it out streaming below.

Er geht nicht so in die Beine wie das Orginal. Aber wenn Jónsi von Sigur Rós den MGMT-Superhit "Time To Pretend" covert, muss man einfach hinhören. Das Soloalbum von Jónsi erscheint am 2. April. Wir haben schon reingehört; erwartet Grosses! Zur Erinnerung und Verkürzung der Wartezeit: Vorgeschmack 1: Boy Lilikoi. Vorgeschmack 2: Go Do.]]> text/html 2010-03-20T16:58:12+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2418266/leaked-mgmt-its-working/
Remember that band that had a huge hit with that song called 'children'? They won a few Emmys or Oscars or something, looked kinda goofy on the red carpet and released a song a lotta people weren't all that thrilled by a few weeks back (it was 'too weird'/'hard to hum')? Well, the wonders of the internet now allow us to bring you another track off their upcoming album ' Congratulations' MGMT - It's Working]]> text/html 2010-03-20T12:51:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2417995/kid-cudi-f-mgmt-and-ratatat-pursuit-of-happiness/

Filed under: Concerts and Tours, News, UK MGMT's forthcoming second album is called 'Congratulations,' but compliments were not in order after a faltering gig at Heaven in London on Thursday night (March 18). The band have a hit-and-miss reputation as a live band, and Andrew Van WynGarden and Ben Goldwasser seemed lost at times. The main problem was a set list dominated by new material, which lacks the immediacy of hits such as 'Time To Pretend'. 'Congratulations' sees the band exploring a more psychedelic sound inspired by Syd Barrett. However, the acoustic [...]]]>
