Psychedelic rockers MGMT will be releasing their self-titled album on September 17 through Columbia Records, and to get listeners ready they have released a music video for one of its leading songs, “Your Life is a Lie.”

As expected, the music video has its fair share of odd visuals (how you doin’, midget alien?) and flashy editing (what was that written in mustard, again?), but it’s nice to know it’s all sharply tied to staying on beat. I just want to know where they found these extras; they seem like they’ve all got interesting back stories (and pristine skeletons). Really, though.

The new album will have ten tracks, some of which you can listen to here. The band plans on releasing visuals along with the album, describing it as including ‘The Optimizer,’ something that will give listeners a “simultaneous aural and optical listening experience featuring video and CGI work.” We’re waiting to get more clarification on just what, exactly, that means.

Until then, give the music video for “Your Life is a Lie” a watch below:
