MGMT will be releasing their forthcoming album, “Congratulations” April 13th. I don’t envy these guys. Anything short of their previous album would be considered a failure to fans everywhere. They have a momentous task! Let’s hope they don’t disappoint. “Congratulations” will be available for pre-order on the band’s website: whoismgmt.com

Here’s a bit more info from the press release:
Congratulations is a collection of nine individual musical tours de force sequenced to flow with sonic and thematic coherence: “It’s Working,” “Song for Dan Treacy,” “Someone’s Missing,” “Flash Delirium,” “I Found a Whistle,” “Siberian Breaks,” “Brian Eno,” “Lady Dada’s Nightmare,” and “Congratulations.”
Produced by MGMT and Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3, E.A.R., Spectrum), Congratulations was recorded throughout 2009 in upstate New York, Malibu, and Brooklyn and features Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, MGMT’s core duo, performing with Matt Asti (bass, backing vocals), Will Berman (drums, backing vocals), and James Richardson (guitar, backing vocals), the band’s live line-up.
