No Singles Planned From New MGMT Record0


MGMT

MGMT have revealed they do not plan to release any singles from their forthcoming new album ‘Congratulations‘, saying there are no ‘Time To Pretend’s‘ or ‘Kids‘ on the record.

Speaking to nme.com, Ben Goldwasser said: “We’d rather people hear the whole album as an album and see what tracks jump out rather than the ones that get played on the radio – if anything gets played on the radio. There definitely isn’t a ‘Time To Pretend’ or a ‘Kids’ on the album. We’ve been talking about ways to make sure people hear the album as an album in order and not just figure out what are the best three tracks, download those and not listen to the rest of it.”

MGMT rose to fame in 2008 with the hit singles ‘Time To Pretend’ and ‘Kids’ both hitting the UK Top 40, while their debut album ‘Oracular Spectacular‘ was named NME’s Album Of The Year for 2008.

The duo spent time recording the new album this summer with various members of their live band as well as Spaceman 3 founder member Sonic Boom. Working titles for the new record include ‘It’s Working’, ‘Brian Eno‘, ‘Song For Dan Treacy‘ and ‘Flash Delirium‘. It is set for release in Spring this year.
