Watch: MGMT offers new song at All Points West
While there may not have been a guest appearance by Jay-Z, MGMT’s Sunday night set at All Points West did prove to be a bit special. That’s because the Brooklyn duo of Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser cap off the festival’s rain-drenched second edition with a brand new selection from its forthcoming album.
As you’ll hear in the video below (the video ain’t that great, but the sound is clear), the song, believed to be titled “It’s Working”, offers a rather upbeat, mysterious, and psychedelic sound from the duo. Albeit not as catchy as some of MGMT’s other material, as it stands now, the song is still quite pleasing on the ear… and helps ease those concerns of how VanWyngarden and Goldwasser will be able to followup those 2007’s Oracular Spectacular.
Speaking of followups, the band’s sophomore studio effort is rumored to be titled Congratulations and due for release in early 2010. Until then, they’ll be guest appearing on every other album released.
you guys dont no shit mgmt is the shit. shit heads
I would have definitely missed coldplay for MGMT, as chris martin is an annoying prick and cant sing live
gustave - you know how i know you’re gay? because you have a coldplay album and you love it.
MGMT is a fairly new band. They kinda had to figure out their live performance almost last minute a couple years ago. Seen em a couple time and their was a drastic improvement in the second show I saw. Still room for improvement though. I think they need to take some time off the road, finish their second album, and then work on a jaw dropping live performance. I have a lot of faith in this band and think they can reach superstar status by their second album.
I agree with Zatzbatz, I was extremely disappointed with MGMT’s performance. The vocals were completely off and the bands’ energy wasn’t there. As a fan of them, I was upset.
I was very disappointed in MGMT’s performance. Sunday had a good lineup, but the experience was pretty lackluster compared to Friday and Saturday.
Don’t get me wrong MGMT is cool, but I don’t know anyone in their right mind who would have missed Coldplay or Etienne De Crecy for them.
