Featured Release This Week From MGMT + Studio One Tracks Top 30 Playlist

facebook.com/mgmt

MGMT brought their sound and vision (cool video behind them on stage) to last summer's 80/35 Festival in downtown Des Moines.  At that time they were probably working on their fourth album, Little Dark Age.  ​The advance word on the new record was that MGMT mainmen Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser were going to rein in their experimental side this time out, and bring some focus to the proceedings.  As the music was released, that's exactly what we got- MGMT's eccentric songs and left-field pop sensibilities remain for Little Dark Age, but with a bit more self-discipline in the studio as the record came together.  And that's a very good thing for MGMT.
