As reported by the San Francisco Examiner (via NME) and confirmed by their label, MGMT’s new album is called Congratulations. Whether the title turns out to be generous or pompous, we’ll just have to wait and see.
In fact, there are very few nailed-down details when it comes to the record, except for the fact that it’s due out sometime next year. The Examiner piece revealed that the duo is recording in Malibu and Spacemen 3’s Peter “Sonic Boom” Kember is handling production duties, while Jennifer Herrema of Royal Trux/RTX is set to provide some guest vocals.
The band played a few new tunes– including the title track– at gigs over the summer. Check out YouTubes of those after the jump:
